This past weekend, DH and son were at my son's baseball tournament.

I know there is another really long thread about this but I don't know where so I think a fresh one would be fun.

I am free from:

The Fog- first of all!

Worrying every time someone gave me a sideways look they that knew my 'secret'.

Obsessing over my looks and everything I wore.

Looking for all the negatives possible in my H to justify my A

Wondering how I would ever get out of this mess I made of my life.

Cringing every time the word adultery was mentioned in church.

NSN,

Yes it is a WONDERFUL feeling not to be lying and hiding and covering any more!! I so happy for your feelings of joy right now. Isn't it like breathing fresh air? Remember that horrible pit of anixiety that resided constantly in your stomach? Gone! It's amazing what living honestly will do for your psyche and soul.

I am free from:

Constantly thinking of him and wondering whether or not I would hear from him, and letting that dictate the mood of my day.

Anxiety, guilt, shame

Fog and confusion. My head was so messed up I didn't know up from down, left from right, love from lust. I am so grateful that I stuck the ending out long enough to get free from the fogged up thinking so that I could see where I truly was in life and I could be receptive to the work I needed to do on myself.

It is wonderful that you are posting this kind of thinking. These are the steps that we need to make in order to move forward. Good on you!!!

Hugs,

~Alwayst2

I am free from:

His Crazy Jealousy

His Put downs

His lies

His isolation of me

His constant criticism of my male friends
