In my dark times, when I've come in here, few things have inspired me more than having people share their experiences and successes. Knowing that someone else has been there, having them share their tips for success, what kept them strong, what pitfalls to avoid...it helps so much.
There is already so much static from "well-meaning" friends and family who just know that someone they love is hurting so they push for separation & divorce that it is refreshing and uplifting to have people who are or have been through this pushing for reconciliation. I'm tired of people calling me a Pollyanna, naive, too goodhearted, etc. - I deeply, devoutly, firmly agree with Michele's credo that aside from abusive relationships/addictions, divorce is not the answer.
I've had friends baffled by how someone so logical, rational, scientifically-minded, can "abandon" their logic and fight so hard for an MLC wife, openly discuss his reliance on God and prayer, and be so trusting and supportive of his MLC wife. They just don't get it.
The folks in place, however, DO.
