Some great reading

I saw my tdoc today and man is she amazing. She penned a book called: "Boomer's guide to dating (again)". IF anyone is having trouble letting go of the past like I am it is a good read. Dr. Helgoe is the BEST. I'm only on chapter 3 but I feel empowered, I feel like I can let go of the past with the help of our sessions and this book. It put me back 20 bucks, but I really needed some more help since I can only see her once a month now because of my stupid work schedule. If you all know me you know that I've just gotten out of a 12 yr abusive relationship and somehow I'm still letting him control me. I'm making hideous choices but I'm working on it. It is funny how my x still has me under his thumb. I still love the idiot, but I hate him too. I hate him for what I lived through, I hate him for jumping into another marriage w/o actually loving and trying with me. I hope this message isn't deleted. Dr. Laurie Helgoe actually has saved my life along with my pdoc and you all on this board. I think if you need help moving on, this book is the ticket. I'm not an actual baby boomer, but I can over look that aspect of the book. It really is for anyone male or female. I'm pumped and can't wait to get home to finish it. I was late coming back from lunch because I was so into what she was saying. Very easy to read and I need no more complications, so I'm hoping it will help. NO, I know it will. I will allow this to help me. I'm scared of letting go of X, but I will. I will find closure and move on and one day I will find true love, not abusive love. I hope this message isn't deleted. Dr. Helgoe did not ask me to post this. I only posted to help others out there. She knows her stuff. She is compassionate and I can't say enough about her. Oh well......I'm off my soap box. Gotta get back to work. Two more hours til I can pick it up and start reading again.......GGRR Too long.
Hugs and Hope

Marci,
You will enjoy the book. I did get angry (rather raged) at it last night because I have no car nor the money to buy nice clothes to go out. But....I'm workin on it.

Hugs & Hope
