WAW is full steam ahead

[LosingSunshine]

I read this on another post and wanted to post it hear for future reference so I know where to find it.

"This is of course true of all of us, no matter what our path was. The mistake you make will haunt you, especially if you made them in the "pursuit of happiness". Because that pursuit is truly a selfish one.

Yes we should all have the ability to be happy, but never at someone else's expense. Your pursuit of happiness leaves your W and your kids picking up their own lives off the floor. For this reason, no matter how happy you may end up and no matter how long, you will eventually crash and burn.

If that is not enough reason for you to do the right thing, then so be it. Do the wrong thing and just know the eventually, it will catch up to you.

And I do not mean this to be some ominous, self-righteous statement. I am saying it from the heart, as I have lived it myself and I now know the difference between the right thing and the wrong thing. And I have paid (and still pay) the price for taking the wrong path."

Not sure why I like these words...it's almost as if I want someone to tell this to my W. My W hopes she will discover happiness post D, and like DanceQueen wrote, it is a selfish reason. Just jotting down for reflection later I guess.
