One of my close friends gave me this bit of encouragement that I thought I would share.
It's great to be a strong person when everything's going great, but it's a true test of character when the "**** hits the fan"! Keep ducking it or keep wiping it off your face or just start throwing it back!
Stay strong everyone!

durham I'm not much for bashing people but your H has no idea what a strong woman you are and I think he's an idiot for not realizing that. I'm impressed with the turn around you've made in yourself the last couple of weeks. Keep up the good work.

I echo that DMB.
Even in recovery I still question my decision to work this out and fight so hard for my M.
I still have fleeting thoughts of "who do you think you are? if you don't want your family then you don't deserve us."
But I know that's my pride speaking. I love my H and I know he made a terrible decision. I'm paying the price, he's paying the price and my children will no doubt pay the price.
Durham - I love your quote. I think I'll save that on my desktop to give me hope to get through the day.
I'm wishing you the best of luck and I'm sending you my prayers.

Hi Durham, I like that quote too and it's not only character that is tested but our faith as well. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> O
