T - You are a pro. I think this went as well as could be expected considering the circumstances ... speaking of which, they are just circumstances. Looking beyond the circumstances, the details are astounding. The woman who builds walls as tall and long as The Great Wall in China let you in. Made herself vulnerable. She still has plenty of loving feelings. She could hardly resist the urge to call you. Tears!! T, I'm sad for her. Do you feel her pain?
This isn't a woman who really wants to end it. She's consumed with an idea that this is her way to peace and happiness. Great, nasty trick from you-know-who. Time to prove her (and Satan) wrong as the day is long.
You will continue your walk. Growing in Hope, Faith and Love. Becoming a stronger man, a better husband and the best Step Dad & Adoptive Father you can be. It's a new beginning, T. A chance to do it all over again - the right way. So get to work.
