Change your words: sense of empowerment, acceptance, and being strong.

Congrats on one week of NC. You really do need this during this time for clarity and reflection.

Sending hugs! I know it's difficult.

Thanks.

This is not for clarity, there was enough time for that.
It's so final !!!

Thanks again for the support

Congratulations, Lonelygal! Ditto to everything Hurtingandhealing just said.

I have gone at least a month now of NC, and have found it does get easier with time, and really helps with healing. In fact, now I'm really dreading the inevitable time when we will need to interact around the selling of the house, and around the decision of whether to move ahead with official divorce (dreading it because it is so incredibly painful to interact with him, knowing that he doesn't love me any more and no longer wants a future with me). The longer I am apart from him, the stronger I feel!

You arent giving up! You're gaining yourself again. You are so brave, you have achieved so much. Be proud of yourself. Im proud of you and hope that I can be posting the same thing next week x

well done hun keep up the good work i have gone 1month this tuesday coming xx
