believer, has anyone told you lately how AWESOME you are? I spent 10 years being abused. I didn't know how to protect myself or my boys. You have come such a long way, and have so much wisdom. I, for one, am proud to see you on these boards, and you have been so very helpful to so many people. You have been there for the new ones here who are hurting so much, time and time again. My hat, so to speak, is off to you. I read your awesome posts to Callie, and I can tell you that you are very very special. You deserve the best, and I hope you are getting the best these days, only what you deserve. Thank you, believer, for being the best!! You are WORTHY!!! But of course, we all know this! Love in Christ, Miss M <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Why thankyou, Miss M. There are a lot of smarter people posting here, and it is amazing the support that comes from even the newest members.
I think it is valuable for folks to see that even if the worst case scenario happens, life can be wonderful again.

There are a lot of smarter people posting here, This may be true, but there are not many who have recovered personally from a D and are so willing to post to newbies (and others) alike. Your perspective is so helpful, even for those of us in recovery. Seeing how you've recovered alone and now with new vision for your life gives me a win/win outlook for my personal and marital recovery. (I'll be OK either way.) You're a real inspiration, Believer. Thanks for all you've done and continue to do. Watching your progress helps decrease my fear of the unknown. Ace

I have to agree WHOLEHEARTEDLY B. While at times I may not want to HEAR your advice in the end it is always good and makes me stop and think,,, <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />. Yes, you are very generous with your time that you give to all of us that are in pain and are suffering. And yes, you are the GREAT example of how like can be good, no make that exceptional, even when things turn out not the way we plan.
You are the Woman....

believer, I have so much admiration for the time and effort you selflessly give to MB. It's a better place because you're in it. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I agree. Believer, you're a rock here for many and your wisdom is valued very much.

Believer,
You are NOT old, just aged. You ARE beautiful, and YOU ARE RICH!! You have something money cannot buy.
You are the hero and inspiration of all the females (and probably many males) on this board.
You rock.

Yes B,
You are a blessing. A few months ago when I was in a rough spot, YOU hung in there with me. You cared and it made all the difference. Thank you. I'm much better now!!!LOL
You seem to be here when others need someone to listen. You don't judge, you just support. A real blessing you are.
Kudos to you!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, you know what I mean. I probably said it wrong. In the Goddess thread you said that you were old. I say aged as in a fine wine, not old. OK, I'm not explaining it the way my mind is thinking it. LOL, just not with it tonight. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Hey Chai....
Does "seasoned" work better for 'aged'?
(As in matured by the seasons of life?)

Just a short note to say you have a gentle heart of gold.
You seem to come around for those BH's lost in the raw emotions and say the right thing.

Remember, there was a whole crew here supporting me when I showed up. I was a complete MESS.
Goes to show that this place really does wonders.
People told me I would be happy again one day, and I never believed it.

Yay, a post that was just waiting to happen. Thanks for supporting me and handing me advice, believer, when everyone went AWOL from my threads. I guess they didn't know what to say, but you always did. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
