Thanks Open Eyes! It's not an easy pill to swallow....but for once in a long time I'm starting to feel content...I don't know if it's initial euphoria or what. I'm going to keep moving forward.
I understand about the relationship boundaries but I've also seen (albeit the surfaces) of couples or an individual who is in a relationship who seemed to be working towards each other. I understand that we're working towards being the people that we want and need to be for our children and if what we are doing is what is needed of us to go there then at some point we'll either meet at the crossroads or keep walking our paths. I'm trying to not linger anymore than need be on the what ifs and work on the will and can do's. I am 2 weeks and 3 days clean...and it's not been easy even now. So thank you all so much. I may be writing in here less but that doesn't mean I don't have your advices and voices running through me when I leave the keyboard
Hugs from:

I pray and hope everyone is doing ok during these hard times. I still think about the friends I made here and am grateful to each and every one of you for taking the time to share and help me through everything.

I'll make it short by saying enough has happened in both of our lives where choices were made by both of us to work on divorcing. I had to ask myself how much of anything more regardless of what is or is not going on that is allowable vs what I'm trying to do by staying clean. Haven't gone to meetings in a couple weeks for obvious reasons but am on threads and probably will try the online meetings. Thinking of you all and wishing the best for you!
Thanks for this!

Affliction, do your best to take things one day at a time. Nothing JUST gets fixed or better overnight, it takes time and patience. Take care of yourself and your children right now, that's what is important.
