Lightbulb It's an Unbelievable Feeling...

when you finally let go of the resentment, hurt, anger, pain, sorrow and vengeful thoughts! I have to share as i NEVER thought i would actually feel ok ever again. Most of you know when i came here in July i was an udder mess to say the least. My situation was not exactly to the same degree as many here who were married and have children and have spent so much time with their A.

Well i just wanted to share a little hope.....i feel like for the first time since July that a 500 lbs. weight has been lifted FINALLY. I, in general have had a good week but it's true what you have ALL said all along. Once i let go of all the different feelings towards him i can say I DON'T CARE ANYMORE and mean it.

It's been a LONG time coming for me to finally see the light but it did finally happen and i truly can't THANK ALL OF YOU ENOUGH. I've learned so much and got upset with so much (denial) and everything under the sun to prove i was right in every aspect and go to the ends of the earth for my beliefs lol!!!

I just want to say how much i love you guys and how SR has been a saving grace for me and my past, present and future......

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

p.s. brace yourself ladies and gents....i walked into therapy at lunch today and said i have NO complaints! Was a first for me and i NEVER thought it would get to this point.

:ghug

i know, i know....where's the other heather...(hopefully gone for good!!)

I knew this day would come for you. As long as you remained determined to keep on trudging through the mud. Well, you trudged long and hard. Might be time for some new shoes!

L

P.S. I was gonna give you some balloons, but didn't want to step on Anvilhead's toes. LOL

Oh what the heck!8

Thanks for sharing your joy. It is like having the world lifted from your shoulders when you can let go of all of the painful emotions.

This post made me smile. Thank you!

You guys are who were the biggest help getting me here.

Don't get me wrong, there are times i could allow myself to turn around and be sad but i tell myself for what? He didn't get the appreciating or love that i deserved and will NEVER from him, it's not in him. I can actually look at this now as he DID do me a favor. My life of chaos and misery would have been very long and hard, as i probably would have never been the one to leave him. Just by the looks of him when i've seen him around town, nothing's changed.

I may have only had 2 dates since then, but boy i tell you, i wish i did it sooner. It has really opened my eyes to a whole new world out there. This new person will probably be thrown back in the pond but it sure is nice to have someone treat you with the respect you deserve.

For all of you i would love to give back some balloons you all gave to me over the months

88


And Anvil i'll share that kleenex with all of you and for the first time, it's not cause i'm sad......who knew!!!!

Hope i can share in the future as we will all be here in our own time....keep moving forward, it really does work!
