My xabf emailed today to tell me how he feels again. Nothing new with the words except this time I read it for what it likely is...manipulation. Also, my reaction to the contact was completely different. For the first time, I didn't freak-out, panic, or burst into tears at my desk. I think it's because I have been completely focused on my recovery. I've done nothing but read and learn this past week, so thank you to everyone on this board for sharing in the first place so I could learn. Thank you also for answering my questions if I posted any. I know now in reading all these posts that most of you have read and answered these same questions over and over again.

I hope this feeling keeps going (fingers and legs both crossed!). This is much better than sobbing on the floor!

There is a time we get tired. Tired and worn out with no energy left to spend being hurt or angry. That's when we become somewhat indifferent. It doesnt hurt any more.
Recovery is right down the road!

I remember my therapist saying early on "you can't un-ring the Al-Anon bell." I think the same can be said for SR.
