Hello friend Superdave71, welcome back! I never knew who you were but many of your posts gave me lots of insights during my difficult times 10+ years ago.
I check ENA randomly (truly randomly every few months or years!) And was so happy to stumble upon this post.
I don't have a successful 'getting back together' story to share, but I'm in a good place mentally. And I can vouch for every word you wrote up here. Kudos.
