Hi MoM,<p>I totally empathize with what you're going thru right now.<p>The day my H left me he was going back and forth to his van moving stuff. I was outside for a bit next to his van and his pager went off, he had it set to a happy tune for her (OW's) pages. <p>That damn thing kept going off, one after another .. I was already sobbing as it was, and I got so upset, when my H came outside with a load of stuff I said almost exactly what you said. I mean jeeeez, he was packing to go there, why couldn't the vulture wait a couple more hours??? <p>I know how much this hurts, and for you it seems like you been counting down till the day. So the stress on you must be so unbearable, Honey. I'm so very sorry. I am praying for you a bunch today.<p>Please be okay, you CAN get thru this.<p>Love,
Jo

Hugs Mom,
I will never understand why they can't see how much pain they are giving us. The last time my H and I had a serious talk about US, the OW called on the phone and actually came into our back yard and had my daughter come in and get him!! I did the same things as you did. I cried and said some things I wasn't proud of. My H has been out for a few months now and I am doing better. You will be OK. Of course, you will have good days and bad days, but please know YOU WILL BE OK. Hang in there MOM. You don't deserve this, none of us do, but you are going to show him how strong you are!! I didn't think I could do it either, but I am doing OK. I am surviving and so will you, I promise! Love to you MOM.
Hugs.

MoM,<p>Boy this is hard but you can do it!! Those rings and pages send shivers up my spine and it's not fear either!!!!<p>Refocus. It will get better. You really don't realize the enormous stress you are carrying. Once he is away from you, you will after a few days or so feel relief. Yet your situation won't change but you will feel relief. Why? Because that stress level is gone. Out of sight out of mind? Yes. <p>Trust us on this. You will have pain, hurt and cry but eventually it will come to a level you can handle. You will look back and say, 'wow I put up with all that?!?!?'<p>Hugz,
L.

Dear MOM,<p>I have been thinking of you all day. Yes, it is hard to finally separate--but you won't be able to imagine how much stress will be taken from your shoulders.<p>This will be tough...but we will be here for you. Your life is not going to stop and there will be good and bad days, I am finding.<p>But I am also finding, I have more stress when he is around. <p>I just wanted you to know that you are not alone and we are pulling for you. Please take care of yourself.

OK I'm just sittin here sobbing as I read these posts...the whole thing is just so bittersweet...<p>I feel so intrusive sometimes into peoples reality and pain...<p>and I'm really sad that I didn't get a chance to post earlier to MOM to let her know how brave I think she is...and how much I admire her strength to keep God in the for-front...<p>I know that God's Grace goes with her...peace be with her as well...

MOM,<p>You will have a small army of cyber-wellwishers with you tomorrow as you move. This move should not be seen as an end, but as a beginning.<p>We'll be waiting to hear from you as soon as you get the computer back online.<p>Thinking of you,
Estes
