I feel like i turned a corner in my recovery on monday.

  

I started to feel more like myself again. I am still grieving

but that will take some time to get over. I started to feel

happy and normal again. What a great feeling! I sent off

my tax returns to my accountant and had taken some 

time off to do them. My brain still is not focusing real well.

 

Now if my ah would stop trying to aggravate me i would

be really happy. We are still in the throws of financial 

settlement and he is full of resentments and anger. No

positive interactions between us is possible. But other 

than that i feel good.

 

I believe it is acceptance i am feeling. I have already

forgiven him and handed him over to the care of God.

I am ready to let go and move on to a happier way of life.

 

Thank you everyone for you continued support and letting

me vent my feelings and emotions. This site has been a 

sanity saver for me!

Thank you all for your support. By acceptance I acknowledge The insanity
of his disease and that he is sick. That has been very hard for me To do. He
Justs seems to keep getting worse. I try to be nice or at least decent and
Out come the resentments. We generally only text needed information.

Those interactions still hurt but i am getting stronger every day. I keep
Reaching out trying to help myself. I am starting the 4 th step next week
I am excited and ready for that next step of my journey.

Good for you!!! At first the happy feeling is foreign but after a while, we remember how we used to feel before all the craziness.  I embrace every bit of happiness I can these days!  Congratulations!
