My WW is at the crossroads this week. She is isolated from all friends and family because of the affair. That leaves me and the OM to duke it out. This guy has his roots in deep, but she knows she will bottom out soon and have nothing if she doesn't break away now. I suggested this place, but she's worried about getting beaten up by other BS. I said it wasn't true. I need suggestions because she needs strength to get away from OM. Any FWW have any ideas?

She will be welcome here, IF she is willing to listen, be open and honest. The only WW's I have seen get beaten up are the ones that want to flaunt their A's and say how right their's are. I'm a BS and appreciate the different perspective that the FWS's can provide.

Have her post under the Just Found Out forum. There are a couple of OW posting there. On this forum, she might get lots of attention and problems.

We have a couple of WW posting here who are still in their A's- and while they have had a few 2x4's swung at them, again I have seen nothing but loving and helpful advice posted to them.

Zoomie, it's probably best if she joins one of the threads already going over in Just Found Out, as Believer says.

There are VERY good things happening over there as you know (and I know you know 'cos you've been posting on my thread <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> )

BTW hi, sadfww, I haven't posted to you before but you had JL looking after you so I didn't feel I needed to. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

If your WW is worried that she is going to get beat up if she posts, then have her lurk and read the posts of the FWW's like sadfww, kiwij, myrta, etc. Hopefully she'll emulate their example and realize that this site is for BOTH BS AND WS. I'm almost certain that once she sees that she is not the only WW, she is going to feel better about posting.

Tell her to stop by! We'll help her out, help her through this... You are right, she's going to need a place to go when she hits bottom.
