Thanks for sharing, Mary. It's amazing how good it is to leave (when you do it right, meaning....you have worked it through and know it's right). When you are deciding, there is so much fear and tales of woe about leaving.....but, after you're out, it's mostly relief. I have my times of whistfulness, but much moreso at the beginning than now, when I was really dealing with re-entering the larger culture.
