Just ducking in here to say that it has been 6 months on my own, away from AH soon to be XAH. Getting the divorce, dealing with the IRS,looking for work has been a real challenge to me.My es
sis in law has taken the job i had of "having the wool pulled over your eyes enabler" as far as XAH. I havnt seen or spoken to him since his tirade in Feb on the phone.
Im very proud of myself. I get my medical needs taken care of and i go for job interviews. I look out for myself, employing boundaries and alanon principles and pratices. I have done many things such as taking buses,metro trains, going in H's car, taking a cruise, going to aquarium, beach, stores, movies, restuarants, on walks, etc
I have been in relationship with my guy for 6mths today and he is taking me out on the town. The relationship has been very challenging. Learning about someone who is set in their ways and never been married. The whole thing has a life of its own, cant seem to slow its progression. That is mostly a happy thing but puzzling at times.
Basically, Im very happy, full of joy not miserable or defeated like id been with XAH. thanks for reading friends, all of you are so special.
Congratulations on your current/new chapter Alyce! Keep on working it as it looks good on you. Enjoy your evening out and keep looking for miracles! That's what I consider when I look back on my program time!! (((Hugs)))
