Magic Potion - I didn't mean to take over your thread! I guess I got to feeling sorry for myself and went overboard whining about my own problems. My original point was to explain how it truly is possible to return from the land of the living dead, that you can recover despite all manner of obstacles. Posting here has been very helpful to me over the years, the act of writing helps you to get in touch with your feelings - once you catch at those thoughts and ideas flying around in your head and put them into words, it's kind of like arranging the boxes and cans of food in your kitchen cabinet...when you get things organized, you have a much better idea of what's in there.
And of course, the wonderful people that you meet here will give you the kind of advice and support and courage you'll need to go on with your journey. They've done it for me countless times and I try to respond in kind when I'm feeling strong enough, because I'm just so thankful. Without their help, I'm sure that my soon-to-be
ex-husband would have me convinced that I'm every bit the completely unlovable, helplessly strange mess that he believes me to be; that I was put here on earth for the sole purpose of tormenting him for life, but he's going to overcome fate! he's going to be strong and brave and find happiness for himself by kicking me to the curb.Snort. Watch out, Happiness, here he comes. Good luck, mama.
