heartshapedrocks Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 Hey I post sporadically here but wanted to report in. This September puts me at a little over a year mark. 4 seasons of reminders, the birthdays, holidays, anniversary & what not. During the time I had to sell the house we built together & move into a new place. It was cleansing to leave the home we lived in but it was like another loss too. Also during the year, my ex got a new partner & got engaged. I only know this for we still had to be in limited contact due to a business & financial entanglements. I struggled at times thinking I would lose my mind BUT I made it kicking & screaming & crying & healing It is a miracle. Also I am a recovering alcoholic (10 yrs) & didn't have to drink or use. That in itself is a miracle and I am so grateful. Yesterday, my ex and I actually worked all day together for the first time in 13 months. It went fine and after we went our separate ways. I can honestly say I hit a turning point & I felt ok even when driving away. I didn't think 13 months ago that would be at all possible. So yeah I guess I just needed to report that life does go on & is what you make it. Everyone' s story is different but I certainly am happy to be at peace finally. Sharing experience, strength and hope is what has helped me in other areas of my life. I think it has helped me through this life lesson as well. I mean that is how I view it. A life lesson of my ex wasn't the person I was meant to be with in that way. Looking forward to my next adventure & my best to all LS posters.
