It's been one year...
...since I packed up as much as I could fit in his bag, and delivered him back to rehab, and out of my life. Two months later, he went to live with his parents.
He's been gone a whole year. A whole year. Kind of weird to think about it that way. We've been separated for a year. The divorce is still up in the air, but I have reclaimed my serenity. So it's an anniversary of sorts.
Thank you all for your ES&H.
I don't know that I've thanked you all (enough) for the kick in the pants, but I am grateful.

I still remember the post I got about 10 years ago from MorningGlory that said "you are in denial"
It took me aback and it also saved my life.
I love SR and I learn from it every day.
The peace and serenity is priceless, isn't it?
We get used to living in the insanity until we are so confused that we just don't see it sometimes.
I love the clarity I have now....it enables me to have a life I want.

This is trully an amazing place.
I know for sure I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for SR.
Glad to hear, DMC, this place has done the same thing for you, and that you're doing well.

Now you can look forward to more years full of peace, joy and serenity. Thanks for sharing - it takes courage to do what you did. Many people stay in the status quo, even if that means endless suffering, just because that is what they know, what society expects, or because they are afraid "out there" could be worse... many women (and men) end up lost, and destroyed. I am glad you were able to let go!

Yes - well when you find yourself saying "it could be worse - at least he is not a murderer" you have to question what the relationship is doing for you.
At my highest point in denial I do recall making that very comparison!
