YES

Sometimes a single word can make all the difference. Especially if the question “Are you seeing someone?” is asked by the ex-wife and he says YES.

After 10 months I finally exist. No name, no face. But she knows there is someone. It is an incredibly important step for me because I feel a lot less like his secret mistress. I’m still not as involved in his life as I’d like to be, but I understand it takes time. Twentytwo has taken a first step and despite the feeling that it was actually overdue, it makes me very happy.

Taking an action counts so much more than words. But if a word becomes an action, if change is possible, the future might be bright and happy. I'm an optimist.
