HINC,
Just thought I would check to see how you are doing and to say I hope your gathering with the kids for Thanksgiving went well.

My DD and youngest son were home for Thanksgiving but oldest son could not make it because he had to work both Wednesday and Friday. Oldest son is struggling with a recent job loss and has picked himself up and got another job as a waiter till he can find another job that pays better. Since he is in a financial bind, I bought him and his girlfriend Thanksgiving dinner at a local restaurant, which he was very apreciative.
JL, I am hanging on. Trying to do what is right. I still have a very heavy heart as it relates to my wife but I will make it.

Hopeful -
Hang in there. Have you heard anything from OM's wife? I've been wondering how that is going.
Just read statistics about people getting a D in their 50's. It seems that 81% of the men, and 74% of the women get remarried, usually within 2 years.
Hopefully you will get your wife back, but if not, your future should be quite promising. Ooops, I know this is a marriage building board, but it is still nice to realize that your whole life isn't over.
Stay strong.

HINC,
I am glad you enjoyed Thanksgiving. Sorry to hear about your oldest losing his job. But, hopefully he will find a better one in the near future.
How did your DD and Young son do? Are they handling this OK? I presume that your W did in fact leave after the confrontation the week before last.
HINC, you are going to be OK. Just hang in there and have faith in yourself as well as your children.
Must go.
God Bless,
JL
