T2L - Thanks for the advice!!! I will file to reconcile. I just don't have the $$ right now to do it since I will be moving the end of this month to a smaller house. The rental we got together is huge and I can't afford the rent + utilities. I just hope that place he went to doesn't do anything sneaky until I can file. The paralegal I talked to said I was not served according to law which is by a process server, certified mail, or in front of a notary accepting the documents. I just got in in my regular mailbox.

Hope - You are so strong. I admire you so much. Being able to face that every day even though you may not see it your mind knows its there and you fight through it with dignity and pride in yourself. You deserve the best and nothing less!! We all do!!!

TxMom - I will check out your thread!

As for GALing all I have been doing is taking my daughter to piano. I have not done anything for myself lately. Just kicking back at home watching movies with my daughter. I'm hoping to get together with friends this weekend possibly happy hour on Friday after work. I had planned to sign up for a dance class but since I hurt my ankle when I went to Chicago it hasn't all the way healed yet. It is still sore in some spots.

When I do submit the reconciliation paperwork they said it will call for a meeting with a mediator. At that time I was planning to have a letter ready to read or have him read during that meeting. Would you ladies help me with that?

Has anyone read the book Men are from Mars Women are from Venus? I have started reading that and it really has some good points about understanding communication between men and women. I plan on buying the Surviving an Affair this weekend too. I have one chapter left in Not Just Friends by Shirley Glass. This is a long one but very good if any of you are interested.

God determines who walks into your life...it's up to you to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go.
