Hi, Treese. I've read your sitch but never posted to you, but just wanted to say hang in there!! You are an amazing woman! It's people like you that really give me hope! That may sound strange but I'll try to tell you why. This weekend while I sat crying in my soup, thinking my world has come to an end because my H has had a one-night stand with his secretary, you are getting results that your's has a love child 8 years old.....but I don't mean to say that "no matter how bad you have it, someone has it worse" (I hate it when someone says that!).
No, that's not what I'm getting at. But, I read about ladies like yourself on these board that obviously have such a big heart and such courage and grace to take joy in their kids, and inspire other around them even when their world is crashing in, and it seems so very clear to me that God doesn't give a person a heart like this if He doesn't mean for it to be used. (And I am not a religeous person either). I have no doubt in my mind that in the long run you will have love and joy beyond your dreams because what goes around comes around. That's just nature. So, if I truly believe that for you, and I sincerely do, and someone of your caliber can have such trials and still keep your grace. Then, maybe there is hope even for the little cry-babies like myself!
So keep a spring in your step a know that your day is coming!!
TJ
