Hope is never lost. It exists within you - it is real. It is not a force in and of itself - it is something that you create with every thought, action, and choice you make. It is a gift that you create for yourself.

It's been 6 years since my ordeal, obviously I still come here every so many months to support what I've been thru and survived in life (of course I did read SI religiously every day then for quite a long time).

I printed those babies out --the full 180-- my first week back then and read them before I went to sleep. Hah! They were my bible.

Altho "we" ( older couple and engaged 7+ yrs. and cohabitated) split for good, pretty much right away (he really didn't want to do the work), I was devastated at the time, and could not have done it without the 180 and SI.

It helped keep my dignity and integrity.

And, just yesterday, 6 yrs. later, another lightbulb moment--another item-- the X actually was involved a full 2 yrs. prior to Dday. I remembered another incident where I couldn't reach him, came to mind, an incident I had dismissed. Haven't had a lightbulb moment for a long time....

I do not think of X or that past life often, but the mind does what the mind does to process such sneaky things. And I do still live in the same home and town, so there are still memories at hand.

The 2-5 yr. timeframe is true. It affects so much of our life at the time. A type of PTSD.

But, the 180 (and the Tactical Primer and NC)works!

You don't have to like your boundaries. You just have to set and enforce them.
