Vee -
I'm replying, not because I reconciled with my spouse, but mostly because one of my first posts (just a while back ) was Success Stories... I was very dedicated to finding the success stories, so I could repeat.

First, I'll give those I know that have reconciled, anyone please chime in with those I've forgotten... WonderWoman, AlexN, HeartBlessings, DebM, CarolK ... see, I know there's more and have forgotten...

I know it's so hard for everyone to see, but I and so many others are Successes, just for making it thru to the other side. I was such a big mess... my marriage, but most importantly, my family were my life and I thought it ended. I'm so much better now. It is so much hope to know that your happiness, nor your family is dependent on one person. My girls are thriving and we are our own family... this bb helps get you through with your dignity and get you past the bitterness by understanding.

Hope this helps.

I did have to smile when I saw the title!
