You haven't failed, Treese! You are an amazing woman and you deserve happiness! And if you D talked to a teacher at school, I think that's possibly a good thing. It's good for kids to feel compfortable talking to other adults they trust if they don't feel they can tell certain things to their parents. Provided the adult is trustworthy, that's OK. It's healthy for her to reach out to others when she needs it (she gets that from her mom!).

And, as for any embarassment or concern for your H's "secrets" getting out. I talked to my C about this one specifically in my own sitch and C made a good point. It is not our responsibility to keep H's secret. Of course we don't need to take out a full page ad in the paper or anything, but if we talk to someone we feel we can trust, or if we feel a need to honest to those we care about, then that is our right! If H has a problem with it, then tough. Dems da' berries!!

Take care!
