Hi all,<BR>Today I am filled with such profound gratitude. I am so grateful that I have found this site. The help that I have received from each and everyone of you guys is invaluable. There is such a feeling of comraderie (sp?). No matter how down we feel we all pull together to help the one who has reached a low point. <BR>This whole OC mess has really made me question general respect and decency but you guys have changed that for me. I am part of a forum that is filled with wonderful, intelligent, supportive and downright funny women (and men!).<BR>I don't post very often but the insight and peace I get from reading your posts has helped me many a day. I can honestly say that this forum has pulled me from the darkness of all this ugliness. I am able to live and not be succumbed by the negativity of the OW/OC situation and the results in my household were instantenous. I saw the change in my fiance and my son instantly. I am going to be okay no matter what. I refuse to define my days and my memories by this whole mess. I have one life to live and its time I live it. I feel good again and I am learning to really BE with my fiance again and not just live under the same roof. So today October 20, 2000 is my anniversary, the day I decided to take my life back, to live it on my terms. I really just needed to let you guys know that I am blessed to have found you guys and this place.<BR>One other thing, I have to express my gratitude to Catnip, an absolutely remarkable woman who has helped me see the glass half full again, who let me know that everything I felt was okay but everything I did wasn't. Thanks again and God bless!!

This forum is truly Divine Providence. We all found this site when we needed it the most.<P>Like I have said before, this dilemma we are all enduring would have had us feeling isolated and confused and alone without this forum. It's truly a blessing.<P>And, thanks, Leelee for the kind words. It's funny how helping each other helps ourselves...I know our talks have inspired and comforted me. I thank you.<P>Catnip =^^=

I can honestly say that this site gave me hope that my marriage could possible be saved and renewed, even with OW and OC. Until I got here I was just not sure how that could be done and was sure life would just be a living H--L. Knowing that others have made it and are actually living happy lives gives me hope and keeps me trying. Thanks to all of you who have posted and stayed here. Also, thanks to those new folks who ask questions and keep me thinking.<P>Take care... <P>Carolyn

Leelee,<P> Happy anniversary.<P> God bless you,<P>------------------<BR><P>Lynton
