well, it's been quite a roller-coaster. don't know quite what to say, but that at least it's not as twisted of a roller-coaster anymore. things are calming down and getting normal again. i really dont think i have any tears left from the last 5 weeks.<p>my background: POSTED HERE<p>so i'm all moved, have only Max (dog) to care for and love me unconditionally. started spring quarter back at the univ., and will be living like a pauper again until I finish. <p>i'm still hoping and praying that my wife will snap out of this fog she dove into. she has a lot of issues to work out, and hope she does soon, for both of us!<p>i miss her.<p>Jon

Jon- I'm so sorry for what you've been going through. I read your story, and I think you are doing so well, and are stronger than you think you are. My advice is to turn to God and to lean on Him. It sounds like you are already doing this. He was my comfort in my worst hours, and continues to be my comfort as I recover from my divorce. I gave everything I had to fight for my marriage, and I won't ever regret that. Don't let well meaning friends talk you out of doing what you think God is leading you to do. Don't beat yourself up about the things you wish you had done differently in the marriage. We all have things we could improve on. There isn't anyone that couldn't work on things. That doesn't mean we deserve to be left, however. <p>I'm now the single mother of 3 young children. My H left for the third time when I was 8 months pregnant with my son. He left me for one of my best friends. They married 3 days after my divorce was final. My circumstances are sad, but I can't let them define me. I feel blessed everyday for the things God has given me. And time makes everything easier. I've been divorced for 7 months now. I HATE the word divorce, and I hate that the legacy my children have is a broken home. But I am off the roller coaster, and I am learning who I am and who God wants me to be. I know I am starting to ramble, but I just wanted to tell you that I am praying for you.<p>WhoamInow (Krista)
