Hi everyone, I've been through a lot in the past year and I'm feeling grateful that I survived. I am going through a divorce. The soon to be ex is in jail, facing many years in prison. But I feel that's been a gift from HP. Keeping me and my children safe, and giving us some justice. He did us so wrong. So I have been reading about "radical acceptance". Trying to do it. Accepting how things are now, a new reality, a new life and future for myself and children. It's going to be good but probably hard too. I haven't been to a meeting in a long time, but had a visit from my alanon friend and it was just what I needed. To remember I have a lifeline out there, people who care and are supportive. Love the words of wisdom on this board to. Trying to be kind to myself and move forward, not in a panic but with gratitude.
Thanks for sharing your journey and hope for the New Year. You are right, change is not easy but so very important and enriching Glad your alanon friend visited and gave you a life line.
Please continue with your meetings and keep coming here and sharing the journey.
