Thanks COG - yes, it has been quite the turnaround hasn't it? However, just like the actor that was an "overnight success" it has been a very long and tiring battle over many years really.

I think the BIG turning point was when H realized he just didn't want to live like this anymore, regardless of what happened between "us". He knew there was no more running, hiding, covering up. He had to face his demons once and for all, for his own sanity. I am just glad that I stuck it out and am there to be by his side to get him/us through this.

He is a wonderful man and the thought of him not being in my life was much more painful than what we have been through. I am glad I hung in there.

I know this is far from being the end of it - I think of it more as a real beginning for us. It will take time, patience and a lot more hard work but at least we are on the right path, that in itself is a blessing for sure
