My sponsor is going to come to court with me, as well as my pastor.

I still wish there was something that I could do to stop this, but accept that there isn't. I have to put it in God's hands. But even that doesn't make the hurt any less.


Donna...Found,

I wish there was something profound I could write to help you. It is such a very tough place to be. I found prayer to be very helpful. I also found striving for acceptance while just putting one foot in front of the other helpful.

In my case, I drove past the courthouse every day on the way home from work. That made it extra tough knowing my D was one day closer.

Finally, I pray you eventually no longer see the D as a defeat. It was something where your H made a choice. It was not some kind of competition or battle. It was all about him, not you....

Take Care,

NMD
