    Well, boys and girls, I came out today last year on Epiphany to just about everybody.

    I just want to thank all for you for your support and friendship.

    My ex and I are getting along. As a matter of fact, we spent Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year's Eve with the children. It really was very comfortable. Though we both know there is no going back. The split just was something that needed to be done, despite the rollercoaster.

    I have been blessed in that I have lost few friends and made many more.

    May this year be less traumatic. (*hug*)

    Good to hear things are settling down! Hard to believe all that can happen in a year--on the one hand it seems like just yesterday, and on the other hand it seems like much more than a year. May 2015 be a happy and amazing year!

    I am glad to hear you are getting to a better place. It has been 9 months for me so far, and there is still so much pain. But it is getting better. I wish you a wonderful new year.

    So it was an epiphany then? :grin:

    I'll bet the epiphany today is that it is the new normal...so congratulations on that and may the rest of your life validate this meaningful time for you.

    Today WAS the Epiphany! It still may be depending on the time zone.

    Ditto!

    Glad to see things have become more amicable and less stressful, my friend.

    There are different stressors now, mostly around building a new life. Last year was surviving, which I could not have done without this site and the people here. You were and continue to be my life line. My shrink told me to expect a rough 1 - 2 years before everything shakes out. Have faith in your God, in yourself, and each other. We're all struggling to see who we are becoming.

    Well done - it's hard going for everyone. Like you I spent a lot of time with the family over the Christmas and New Year time - staying over with them and it was comfortable and steady.
