A year and half ago, I found this site in desperation. At that point I lacked focus, my work was incoherent and my life was unmanageable. Today I got the news from my supervisor that my outline is coherent, and he wants to know when I can submit my work. I am grateful to this site for allowing me to express a lot of the torment of co-existing with an ex-A. Yes he is still staying with me, has terrible health and I can honestly say last weekend was extremely stressful, but I followed the principles, sat down,wrote my outline which was accepted for submission. I did while he ranted and whined while sitting next to me in an armchair during gale force winds. I could not and would not have had that focus on me a year and a half ago and for that I thank you all, for your posts which are invaluable and your support during dark times. I had a reached a stage where I could no longer express myself and it affected my work. I hope I can begin to put that behind me and continue to grow.
when I first came here I was unable to work, inconsolable and totally lost. I am very grateful for the program too. I am particularly grateful for this site because it is a place I can always come to. People may come and go but this group has helped me through so much.
