After a minor holiday wobble brought on by a phone call from my ex, which led to an extraordinary attack on me that just went over the same old same old, I have decided it is time to leave the forum and move on in my life. I realised that the forum had given me the understanding I needed to handle the histrionics without doubting myself. Compared to this time last year that is a huge change.
For imparting all your shared wisdom and stories my heartfelt thanks. I am actually looking forward to 2010 - a change of city looms, and I am even starting to (tentatively) see someone else. I really do see the virtues of 'going slow' in all areas of life after five years on a rollercoaster.
Anyway, I hope you all have a good 2010 and that the 'two steps forward, one step back' approach that recovery from HPD requires allows you all to make progress.
Thanks, and so long!
Mike - AnuthaSucka no more!


P.S. I will keep an eye on the forum, and if the situation ever arisies where I get to mention HPD to my ex I may edit some of my posts in case she finds this forum. I wish her well too, although some of my posts don't show this. Goodbye to anger too!
