good for you, wellnowwhat and lillamy!
i look forward to feeling as the both of you do.
thank you for your kind words, painterman and thlayli. it's been a rough weekend, and it helps to know that i'm not really alone on this journey, even if we are all on different pathways.
right now my biggest struggle is coming to terms with the fact that a week ago i was being called beautiful and being told that i was loved and appreciated, and now he's "truly sorry" that he doesn't love me and i "deserve better." it's equal parts infuriating and heart-rending.
i'm beginning to understand the whole "alcoholics don't have relationships, they take hostages" saying.
