Ark, in the NC letter he told OW that visitation will need to be done through a mediator and included his family. Our discussions regarding OC have been that we will go through legal means to get visitation and that visitation will include me and our COM. Since OC is not yet a year old there would not yet be the issue of overnights.

!!!YIPPEE!!!Let's Do Some Celebrating...

Based on your title I just thought of a variation on one of my favorite jokes for you...

Q: If a smart blonde, Santa Claus and Faithful Follower's FWH were walking down the street and a $50 bill were lying on the ground, who would pick it up?

A: Faithful Follower's FWH of course, there is no such thing as Santa Claus or a Smart Blonde, silly!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

It's okay to have hope here, FF, you know to proceed with caution...HUGS to you my friend!!!

I wondered..............

Why you were quiet about so many things that would be necessarry for you to do if he was leaving.

I wanted to hear from you how YOU were coping.

I was worried about you having to do the work with DS by your self, and how you would hold up.

This explains a lot. It is good news on the face of it. We all hope it sticks.

All of us make mistakes. Some of our mistakes are of such huge proportion that we wonder if they can ever be made right. God can do what we cannot. He has helped you, he can help your H. I hope H knows that, and uses that most important help. I already know you will continue to use it, and I am so glad.

My worry was that you would get worn out with all the work. Very often God requires all that we can give. As you know, it's not easy.

So, you made many of us smile with this one. I am happy for both of you, I wondered if H could and would ever respond. It is so good to know he can, and will. This will heal him too, if he continues it to the end.

I am so happy for your daughter, and your son. What a blessing. What a great blessing.

How do you feel? You have been working for this for months.
What are your thoughts about how far you have come, and how far your H has come?

That he is willing to help now says as much to me as the letter. One without the other would not be worth much.

Anyway, how do you feel? What can you see out ahead of you as you chart your course into the sea of recovery?

SS


I think sometimes about all the pain in the world. I hope we can ease that here, even if only a little bit.
