I am asking for prayers, for a forgiving spirit, I need badly to forgive my h and myself. <BR>My h told our 7 yr old of the impending divorce. (he was gentle and took full responsibility, which I respect). <BR>However, watching him break my sons heart, has caused me to feel deep resentment, I hate that he was capapable of that.I can't even look at him. He is still living in our home, we will have a family thanksgiving.........please pray I can get passed this numb hurt feeling and be thankful<BR>for what I do have. thank-you
