Welcome to you,Mrs. E!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> I'm SO GLAD you're safely home. Your husband is a great guy and it is a relief to hear that you are together. Your story scared me from the start.
One odd thing you'll see over and over on these boards is that in the begining each of us (BS and WS) think our own situation is unique and special. It's eye opening to find out there's nothing new under the sun. It's also comforting in a strange way.
I have walked in your shoes and yes, you and I sound very much alike! As triggering as this is for me personally, if I can be of any help to you, I consider it a privilege. My H and I are two years into recovery now and there are days where it all seems a distant dream, almost as if it had never happened. On others, I feel like I'm reliving the trauma all over again but in the end I KNOW I am healing.
I WILL SURVIVE THIS AND SO WILL YOU! IT'S GOING TO BE OKAY.
Part of that healing process is reaching out to others and I'll be sending you an email today. I'd like to encourage you to consider posting here as well, if you feel comfortable. You will find that the board is very supportive of former waywards. A repentant heart is the most beautiful thing, as my H says to me. Check your mail this afternoon ok? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> KB
Edit for a P.S. Mr. E, can you keep an eye out for Eric N. You guys are in the same boat, he could use some encouragment.
