So it has been almost a year since my divorce, and I am still learning. Yesterday my councelor and I discussed a book Facing Love Addiction. We looked at how I was treated, and what I allowed, or rationalized. Saying it is ok....just dont leave me. I know I still have the tendacy to fall into a relationship where it is not healthy, but it is out there on the table and we are discussing it. I am so different from the person that allowed all those things to happen. I am healthy working out, keeping my weight off. yesterday I took a martial arts class. I am traveling, learning what I like and dislike. I actually have some nice cloths and some money saved something I never did while I was married. Love you all for the help and love you gave me
So hang in there all of you still dealing with your a it gets better!!!!!!!!!
Good Dale.....takes time as you know. Keep coming back. I'm in a marriage that may likely lead to divorce soon. I can't just yet for many reasons but in the interim I'm working on myself, trying to learn to be happy without "outside stuff"...work the inner stuff. Sounds like you are too. Keep it up and good luck.
Well done, Dale. I, too, am working on me; doing things for me and taking care of myself. Doesn't mean I am neglecting those who depend on me but I am insisting on some personal space and time for me. That is how I keep going.
One of my favorite books! I have read it more than once.
It is amazing what happens when we start loving and focusing on ourselves. When we start giving the support and encouragement to ourselves that we give to so many others.
Thank you for sharing!
