This exact time last year on Mothers Day, I sat in my house all day long, scared to go anywhere because my AB (at the time boyfriend, now an X ) was supposed to call me. He was in Kansas City at the VA there, in rehab for the 3rd or 4th time at that point. He didn't have a lot of free time so his calls were scarce. He had promised he was going to call with the few minutes he had. I sat all day waiting for him to call, I didn't go anywhere or do anything. How pathetic am I ? I didn't get to enjoy the day, I was so far gone... oh, BTW, he didn't call me because he chose his minutes to call another woman, i later found that part out.

now granted he dumped me, but what a better place I am in this Mother's Day. I am simply enjoying my time with my kids and nothing else. NO expectations, No hurt. I am so glad I am here in this frame of mind and not where I was last year.

Daydreamer, I've always been a big fan of looking back on these "anniversaries" in our lives. I'm really glad that you have so much growth, learning and improvement to see in the year that has passed!

Thanks for sharing, and I hope that folks here who are struggling w/the "time takes time" thing will read this thread and know that they can do this, too.
