I am totally bummed to hear this...we like those who come from MAS to have a one way flight. Is there anything we can do? Anything you want to discuss. This is ultimately your decision but we are here to guide you thru whatever you may not. I do not know that anyone is ever REALLY ready to end an A, you have to go out on a limb, but its a much safer and healthy limb than being in the A.
I echo Luvin ... please re-consider. 9 years is long enough.
You know it. And the longer you're in it, the harder it will be to climb out of that dark hole that you're digging. We're here to help you make that climb, but you gotta stop the digging.
You want your life back, we know you do.
And the life you want to live is NOT waiting at the bottom of that dark hole - it awaits for you at the top of the climb.
Not many of us here were really *READY* to end our affairs.
What we did know is that we were ready for the insanity to stop, no matter the initial hurt it would cause us. We decided that we could NO LONGER live with the knowledge that we were actively taking part in the destruction of our families and the innocent lives of people/children many of us never knew. We had been stuffed full of the lies we were gagging, and we couldn't stand being in our own skin, couldn't face ourselves in the mirror and felt distant & disconnected for all those REAL RELATIONSHIPS that were dying from neglect while some fantasy life grew out of control until it seemed like the places we wanted to be.
We had emotionally severed from our lives, the people that loved us the most and we couldn't see it.
No one is ever "ready" because it is scary to give up what we think comforts us. I agree with Dee and others, the voice of EAS has already been spoken and you have heard the message. So you know what's going to happen on MAS and what's going to happen here on EAS. You already know the futility of what you're doing. Why postpone the inevitable? How long can you hide in hurt and
Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart... Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens. I started looking inside and went NC October 15, 2010

"Come to the light, Mark, over here!"
Cloud,
You can't go back to MAS. Not really.
Markscloud,
I am new here so what I said at first I said from the point of view of a newbie not knowing your situation.
Cloud,
What New Season said. Totally.
