At one point (years before leaving my H) I pulled away from the negative people that had invaded my life when I was in deep depression. I was better off as bad as I was, away from their negative thinking which only fed into mine. Now I am surrounded by ALL positive people I can see how dark (black hole) that period of my life actually was without any help from anyone around me. Not easy to pull away....takes a lot of determination.

Keeping your focus & boundaries.....you are doing well
