Gary R Smith,

Thank you for posting such an uplifting, positive reply – and thank you for also sharing your story with me. It makes a lot sense.

And I do believe you’re right – that it will be a positive step in my healing process. It’s something my dad also said to me – that he feels if I go back and ‘conquer’ this fear of mine, I’ll feel stronger than ever.

I’m also at the stage in my healing where I see that my breakup really was for the best, and I think this will help me, too. I no longer miss my ex. During the breakup, he lacked respect and compassion for me, and I deserve way more than what I got. I therefore don’t care what he’s doing and where he is. I have zero intention of talking to him, too, so even if I did see him, I’d walk on by.

I’m looking forward to sharing my journey with you all.

Thanks again for the support.

Hopeful
