My hope for today is that somehow, in their hearts, our WS will think of us, alone with our children and realize what they are doing to our families.<P>My H and I seperated a week ago today, on my insistance. I found out 5/5 that he had had a 2 yr affair.<P>Today my H will be with his large family. Not with me and our children (3 teens). I hope he looks around at all his brothers and their wives and all of their children and sees what life is all about. I hope when he goes to church with his mother this morning that he can be honest enough with himself and with God to get some answers. This man, a devout Catholic all of his life suddenly stopped going to church at the same time he met OW. I pray that he finds some answers there.<P>I hope that today he will wake up just a little bit. I hope he misses the he!! out of his family and his heart suffers for us. <P>I will be thinking of all of you today, and hoping that you will find more joy than sadness. Just look into the eyes of your wonderful children and know that life is worth living...that they're what it's all about. Someday they will know why the pain behind our smiles was there. When you get that home made card, or little flower they picked from the neighbors garden know that you are loved, and loved very well by the people that matter most in life.<P>HAPPY MOTHERS DAY my friends. May your hearts heal a little more because of the love you feel from the real victims of infidelity.<BR>

Happy Mothers Day to you too !!!<P>I hope my H realizes that family is impt...<BR>but I don't see that happening.........

My dear Az,<P>Here is Claudia again. Thanks for the post you wrote in my topic. I´ve been reading a lot about MLC and it seems it´s tough. Today I had a great day, really great, I started to see possibilities for happines around me instead putting him in the center of my life. I´m buddist and maybe it helps a lot. My mantra is patience and tolerance. I intend to help him out in everything he needs me to but I´ve been realizing that there is life after my marriage. I practice lots of sports and today, for the first time I went to the Yatch Club by myself. I took my parents for lunch, here´s mother day too and I had a chance to meet some friends and sailing for five hours. It felt so good. I understand there ups and downs, probably tonight I will cry, like yesterday, a day befire, and two days before but I will recover and I will be strongest than ever. If you asked me what will happen if we divorce, I really thing I will marry again and again and again and maybe have a kid (he does not want because he has two girls). There are so many possibilities in life. I hope you have a great day and happy mother´s day for you too.<BR>Lov
