Correct on both counts Bruce. Haha. Well, that's my take on it anyway.
Foots, I have been reading your thread, even before it was redone, so I would say it looks like you are doing it a bit tougher than me. I hope things get better.
I honestly feel that emotionally I am the strongest I have been in years. I would actually go so far as to say since ever. I feel like a grown up finally if that makes any sense. I have a new confidence in my ability to make the right decisions, and I have learned to accept that I am not perfect and anyone who expects me to be probably needs to address that issue with themself.
I think all it really means that my self esteem is on the up and up. I know that even if I make a wrong choice, I did it with the best intentions, so I am not having the internal struggles I once had.
Life is good.
