Donna,

Peace?

I can relate very well to the depths from which you rose. What a black hole it is. Indescribable to anyone who has never been there. I get the whole relaince on the student teacher. I couldn't complete a simple task at the height of my dread.

I would beleivve it's natural to have thoughts like in your last post. We do feel totally betrayed, and I couldn't fathom that she couldn't see that fixing our marriage was better for everyone involved.

I have not dicounted her emotions of feeling that I wasn't meeting her emotional needs. Granted. I was working 2 jobs, helping to raise three kids, and we began to live like angry brother and sister. I guess life got in the way, or one of my favorite Army acronyms: OBE Overcome By Events took place.

You have made remarkable progress. I work toward what you have done.

Where's you H. gonna store those tools in the loft above the garage or in the trunk of his car :-) Wow!! Things worked out so well for him! What a genius!
