I want to thank everyone who has read this and those that have posted. I believe that this board is full of people with great courage and love. You have been hurt so deeply and I share that pain.

I do not regret what I posted and would do so again without changing a word. I do want to reiterate that my comments are not saying that anyone should be unwelcome on this board or treated poorly. You all have value and can help so many here. My point was simply that we need to consider our comments and how they affect the central theme of this board (and its participants)and that is to restore marriages. I do agree that the board provides support for those that have been devastated by divorce and realizing that life is not over. The board would be incomplete without support for those that fought the battle and the marriage did not survive.

Someday my stand will end. Either my marriage will be restored or circumstances beyond my control will prevent that from ever happening. I hope to do what so many others have on this board and continue supporting those that are trying to see their marriage restored by being a voice that is counter to general opinion. As Michele is quoted on the homepage of this site, "We specialize in helping people get their marriages back on track. Even if everyone is telling you to move on, don't be discouraged."
