Thanks Sk...

There are so many people on this board who take the time to encourage and support others. Sometimes I can just come here and read a few posts and get a little bit of equilibrium. Hugs...I needed to hear this today as I approach the final Custody Trial next week. I am thinking everything, a million thoughts right now...that I am going to throw up in the courtroom, cry, not be calm and in control...but at the end at least my children will have some kind of closure finally, finally.

>>>>>>>> "hang in there - we all make choices that seem, at the time, to be the right choice. sometimes it is, sometimes its not. don't waste any more time or energy dwelling on what you did, because you can't change the past. all you can do is look forward from this point on."<<<<<<<

This is the sort of comment which 'it' would say is just an excuse...luckily I have gotten a little deprogramming and understand that this statement is a huge encouragement. You take responsibility for what you know, you do the best you can and you make yourself go forward. In the middle of huge amounts of seemingly complicated situations, negotiations, things to consider, figure out and decide on...this sort of statement just cuts through all the cr-p and helps me focus. Thanks, Annah.
