Closing a chapter...

I only found SI about a year and a half ago. I was almost 4.5 years past dday.

As much as my H and I had R'd I still struggled with my feelings for the OW and my rage/hate for the friend I thought I knew.

Because of the collective wisdom here I was able to put her behind me and walk away from the negative energy I let control my life, for that, I will be forever grateful.

I think it is time for me to go, and close this chapter of my life. The A isn't in my life on a daily basis anymore and I think I should move on and begin to focus my energy in another direction. It's hard to let go of something that has brought such enormous comfort.

I can't even begin to name the people that have helped me over the last 18 months. The stories and help everyone offers, not just A related but life and BTDT kind of insight. I don't think I will ever find a spot so safe IRL.

Thanks to the many hands that run and keep this site safe for everyone.

It's a long road, one I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. I pray everyone finds their own way out to a happier, healthier place.

Be good to you, and Thank you.

A special thanks to AN, for your wisdom and support in the oddly parallel lives we seem to lead. (((hugs)))

I'll miss you here and the wonderful support you give to others.

But, I do understand, and I'm glad you are at a place of peace.

DS, you are forever in my heart. Thank you for sharing your beautiful spirit with me. I will always try to live by the example you have set. I love you and miss you every day and am sorry you had to go so soon, it just doesn't seem fair.

Best to you Dee. Your quote at the bottom of your signature resonates with me. I remember reading it in the early days following my D-Day after your posts and being thankful that I had found this site with so many wise people who were willing to help. Thank you.

Thanks guys :)

And SMY...I am in a good place A wise, but have some things I need to deal with that are just life related, so I need to take care of things.

But don't worry, as soon as the Bruins kick the Leaf's asses...I will be here to taunt you.

Take care
