Hi CS

Funny, I keep thinking about the pub landlord too and the bemused expression on his face.  He's probably lost sleep trying to puzzle out why on earth we were all meeting up!

Hi everyone,

Having read the Posts I'm so pleased that everyone enjoyed themselves albeit on different levels...that is what makes "The Special Interest Group" that Voyager spoke about!  so special :)   I am sure the pub landlord will be bemused for a long time at the eclectic mix of people that were in that upstairs room....  The weather was kind and didn't rain and the Hotel where we stayed was fab....the Overground, Underground Festival in the Arches was an added bonus!

So I hope everyone found what we are all looking for during the weekend and that is friendship and a feeling that someone else understands ....  Meeting up with old friends was a joy and meeting up with new friends was exciting... 

Love and hugs to everyone...

H - still a Vanisher - Maybe he will realise one day what he's lost...but after years of heart-searching finally it doesn't matter any more! I never thought when I was devastated in 2010 after 28 years of marriage - I could be happy again...but it's true - I'm done spinning my wheels - I learned to walk on the sunny side of the street and leave the shadows behind me. Brand new life for me & it feels good to be free of all the drama. No such thing as MLC - just men/women who run away & are too cowardly to talk about their issues, just cheat with other cheaters! Don't waste your gift of life on these pathetic spouses - live life & enjoy...don't waste your life wondering why...you will never know...Trust is precious don't waste it on people who don't know know what it means...

Hello Leeds Group:

I just got the most WONDERFUL surprise in the mail today.  I received a letter from the Netherlands.  Thinking it was from my friend Dragonfly... I eagerly opened it.

You guys are just too much.  It made me CRY you guys.  You know I never cry.  Thank you so much for thinking of ME while you were all having such a good time.  I am touched beyond belief.

To see that you all understand how much I care about all the LBS's is so gratifying.  I can't bare for anybody to hurt for ONE SECOND longer then they need to.  You people are the success stories.  You have taken a terrible situation and used it to turn yourselves into some of the finest, most wonderful, beautiful people on the planet. 

I hated every minute of this experience, but I am LOVING watching people like you all, finding and living up to your FULL potential.  It may not have been the way we would have chosen to get there, but we sure didn't waste the opportunity when it presented itself.

Love you all, more then you will ever realize... and I AM SO PROUD to know people like you.

hugs Sheeb/Sheila/Stayed...

P. S. -no need to edit... I am proud to be seen on this forum... nothing to hide!

Hello fellow 'Leeders'.   Sorry not to have posted all week.   I have been having problems with my computer.   I just wanted to say what an absolute pleasure it was to reunite with some old friends and meet some new friends at our get together in Leeds last weekend.    It never ceases to amaze me how much strength, courage and resilience us MLC survivors have.

We are a unique set of individuals (a specialist group!) who never quite accepted that our marriages/partnerships just broke down.   We all went in search of answers and found the Forum and each other.

I am now over 2 years since BD (April 2010) but am still amazed and in awe of how each of us is handling this 'season' in our lives.   We have all learned and grown as individuals because of this experience.

Just to update all of you who I met, I have been accepted by the college to begin my counsellor training in September.   I have no doubt that I will use my experience of MLC to help others some time in the future.

Thanks to all who organised the event in Leeds - as always, I am eternally grateful to have meet such inspiring people.

Love to you all.
