Re: Where I am: OOHC's summer realizations, Part One
You are amazing OOHC, to cut through it all when it is so darn easy to be dragged back into that stinking closet. You go girl and keep that spirit flying until you are free to be happy again. You're an inspiration to me. Stealth mode is good, it will let you grow strength because you know once you reveal he will move heaven and earth to twist your reality again. I know you won't let him, you're gonna smash this. Get that heart sorted and then move on. And really, he should have been on the mattress not you! Very pleased to hear you have a proper bed.

I love it OOHC! What a great post. Good for you for being pro-active and realizing how good it feels.
I was the same way. I didn't actually want the divorce at that stage, but I found quickly that doing something proactive to moving forward with my life made me feel so much better. I was in control of myself and my life and not just swaying in the wind. Even though I didn't like the destination I felt so much better at least moving forward on a path.
Keep it up my friend.. keep rowing that boat forward and you'll get through the storm and find a beautiful life.

Thank you Duped and Majenco, for the votes of confidence.
Phoenix, you hit the nail on the head. I would rather not have to be doing this at all, but it's been clear to me for some time that it has to be done, even when I was resisting acknowledging that.
