I've read through your thread before, but just hadn't posted. I think you're an amazing person. I hope I can be that strong. My H had a previous PA 6 years ago and now appears to be in at least an EA. Since the first A, we've had a child and gone on a tremendous rollercoaster ride of financial & emotional problems....bankruptcy, job changes, his mom's passing, my dad's cancer, a move....etc. I was relieved in early summer because I thought things were going so much better, but then that whole odd behavior started. It's a hard thing to miss when you've been together for 17 years. I knew right away what it meant. He's emotionally up and down with me, so I hope I can keep this thing together.
I just wanted to say that your amazing strength brought tears to my eyes. My morning started off on a down note and I sat looking at myself in the mirror saying......The last time this happened, you told yourself that you'd never let anyone make you feel this bad again....and now here you are....feeling this way again. Through the tears, I said.....NO MORE!!!
I have to be strong to keep this whole thing together not just for me this time, but for my little 3 year old D. I'll be thinking of you each time I tell myself that it will be okay. Again, YOU ARE AMAZING.
