Keep doing the best you can, read the sticky posts because there is a lot of good information there that I know helped me "see" things more clearly.
We're walking this path with you, and holding our lights until you can find your own.

You're right Ann. That call def ripped the wound open again. I have not called since. And thank you for saying that. You're right, it's a setback, not a failure. It helps to look at it like that.
I can't tell you how grateful I am for you. You saying that you all are holding your lights until I can find my own touched me so deeply. It made me cry. The support I get here is what has helped keep me going. It's been invaluable.
This has been a very painful few months, with him leaving me, then my grandma passing. I deal with depression/anxiety in general, so it's been more than rough. However, I am determined to let this make me better and get to the core issues so I don't repeat the same mistakes.
Thank you so much.
