trying hard,<P>it's difficult, and it's awkward, but I believe that you two should just jump right back in with the families. Answer their concerns that you feel they need to know about honestly, and don't tell them anything they don't need to know. The most difficult part is how much to tell them. I speak from experience [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com].<P>It can be done, but just remember that it will take time, and it's kinda (or really, really) awkward.<P>Best wishes...<P>------------------<BR>~Sheryl<P>Marriage: the most important contract you'll ever enter into, and the most sacred.<P><BR>
