I was abandoned in a big way by my ex-husband. He gave no warning. I did have a 'premonition' a few days earlier while he was on a business trip (he broke the news the morning after he got home) but I guess I had probably felt him pulling away.

I don't fear abandonment anymore, though. I took that opportunity to do some major soul-searching and to build up my independence. I took a few long trips by myself, did the Napa Valley spa thing, bought a house and managed some major renovations, and just learned to lean on myself in times of need. As much as I love my fiance and would be crushed if he left me, I know that abandonment is NOT the worst thing that can happen.

And hey, if nothing else, this board will always be here, right?

What are you worried about Fuzz? I know the crap you put up with with your parental situation, but is there anything going on right now? Want to PM or meet in Chat? I'm going camping tonight but will be back on Saturday (I WILL be back! Really!)

We are ALL going to be a-ok!
