As this weekend came to a crazy, crazy screeching nightmare, I remembered this book I had read over 14 years ago. I thought I'd find something, anything to help me move through this nightmare of being married to someone with an ex/skids...I had read this when I got divorced at the age of 27 and it brought me so much peace, I learned so much and for 4 years I was doing so very well...and then of course, I ended up tangled in this crazy nightmare again...Which now looking back, it seems that although I did well practicing this for 4 years, it all came crumbling down once I met my DH. Sometimes we know what we need to do, start doing it correctly and at some point, the crazy habits show up again because of circumstances...that's what happened to me. I am back to reading this and trying to get myself out of the nightmare that this life has become. I wish I would have realized this is what I was doing once again...

So, please, to anyone out there going through hell because of ex/skids/and BF/FDH/DH...please read this. I promise you will not be disappointed. I know that from my perspective, I have seen this issue crop up in so many posts, including mine...and so far, in just a couple of days of reading, I am starting to feel that peace that I felt before I met my DH.

Peace and above all, take care of YOURSELF...you deserve it.
