Had a really good week!
Hi all,
Just wanted to say after 6-7 months I had a really good week. A few hot sunny days, and on the road stocking lakes with fish (my job) and all seemed ok. Becoming at peace with the reality of my life. I have an older, yet attractive woman that is after me, but knows where I am at. I guess it is nice to feel desired. Biking, hiking, and hanging out with family has helped. Now it is time for house #1 to sell to help with some closure. I haven't seen the ex in months, but I realize it is time as there is no choice. The kids are doing well. Life is complicated, but I am trying to slow it down and appreciate the beauty of the Okanagan valley as it is considered the napa valley of the north. Time helps heal and without a doubt I am a changed man. Changed for the better. She can't and hasn't destroyed me. We will see what type of person she is as we divorce. It is all coming down to $. That is what she sees. It is as simple as life is going on. I was in a dark bad helpless place in 2017. Glad to climb out of that pit. Oh that sucked.

Hi Count,
I’m glad things have improved for you. I felt it was like walking though a lot of trees and all of sudden you’re in a clearing and see a fantastic view. Knowing that someone wants to be with you is big boost. It’s a fantastic feeling and a relief to think, yes, I can handle this and coming out of this experience a better person.

Hearing that you're doing well gives me hope too. There's nothing like being out on the water to give you some mental health & serenity! Wow, desired too? I can only imagine what that must be like lol. I think I remember it was like feeling young again. But, oh yeah, it wasn't real. My therapist said that I may have a fun summer ahead of me. I hope it's true for both of us.

Glad to hear you're becoming at peace with the situation. As for finding out what kind of person she is, my experience indicates you're going to get to know a bizarre person you thought was someone else.
