Seems much longer. A lot has happened, seems I joined just in time for the s*** to hit the fan with BM! I ditto Klinder's Thanks to all who have supported me thus far!

And man, what a difference. When I think about how much my situation has changed in the past year, it's amazing. I'm glad ST seems to be returning to the atmosphere it was when I first joined.

and about two years too late! If I would've had the advice back then - I think months of anticipation and heartache could've been avoided. I am so grateful for StepTalk and the whole lot of friends that I've met, even the ones who tell me to shush and stop being a drama queen. But most of all I am thankful for the laughter when I didn't think laughter was even possible.

And it does make all the difference!

Kevin, I really enjoy your posts

and 5 years too late. You all have improved my life tremendously!

And I've appreciated everyone's advice. As Kevin said, this site has helped me too get through some rough times.

Thanks everyone!

And I have enjoyed helping others as much as seeking advice. I was in no state to help anyone 42 weeks ago. Now I feel I have some insight of my own because I know how it feels and I know how hard it is to change your mind set.

And you know people, it really is that easy, change the direction of your thoughts. Don't let it rent space in your head and at the end of the day...it's not your kid and not your responsibility.

These wonderful bits of advice I have received in the last 42 weeks have not healed the situation but kept me sane and my marriage togther & made me abetter SM and a better BM. Thankyou all.
