bumping for newbies

I'm not going to let this define me anymore. He's gone and I couldn't be happier.

You couldn't have told me in July and December of 2006, but there really is a life after this mess.

Thank you "bumpers", I do remember reading this early on and it was nice to read again. Either we are on the road to a successful reconciliation or someone has shaken my snow globe and I am getting snowed on, only time will tell.

Great thanks! I've read and re-read this post and have come up with my minimums - IC, return from posting OS, honesty and MC.

Also, believe the line that you don't have to reconcile. I think we are too hard on ourselves with this one.

Thanks again for the great post.

Great post.

I wish I had gotten a whole lot more physical with my anger. Wish I'd poured gasoline on all the wedding things and lit the blow-torch to it in the front yard, and when the neighbors would hurry over to inquire, wish I'd have told them in plain terms what WH did to me and our marriage.

Wish I'd taken all that glassware I saved from our wedding and used it for target practice on the range.

Wish I had used a lot more dirty words when I confronted him and a lot fewer tears.

Still wish I could compile everything my WH says about the MOW now and send it to them. (Cackle)

Of course, the other information in this post is more productive ...

Whatsoever Ive feared has come to life
Whatsoever Ive fought off became my life
Just when everyday seemed to greet me with a smile
Sunspots have faded
And now Im doing time
