I have not posted for several weeks because so much has been going on. I was at the point of Plan B with my H (WS) when he all of a sudden decided this week that he wants no contact with me and wants to negotiate an agreement to work out issues such as support, custody, visitation, etc. We have four children who, up until now, really believed that we would work things out. Now H has taken them for the Thanksgiving weekend and my heart is aching. I have never been away from my children during the holidays and it is so painful. I have no other family here but will spend tomorrow with friends. Please pray that I find some peace and that some good will come out of this. I am so tempted to LB but I know that will only make things worse. I have gained so much insight from this board and I thank God that I found it.

Carol, thank you for your prayers. I have truly felt peace today and know that God is watching over me. Today was hard but I tried to focus on the good; I ran 4 miles this morning, which I have had little time for lately, then went over to some friends' house for dinner. When I got home I had an e-mail from my H telling me that he loves me and misses me so maybe this is God's way of telling me to be patient - and to know that He is in control.<BR>I read your prayer request - please know that you are in my prayers. Our situations sound similar so know that I am here.<BR>
