I don't recognize her anymore

[faithisbelieving]

To grace...that was a powerful post and I am fortunate to have you here. I agree.

To KerryK....we hoped, believed and tried and, like you, I filed only because I continued to be hurt and boundaries continued to be crossed.

I personally believe that bringing children into the world is a gift. That gift comes with self-sacrifice. Our children are vulnerable until they are old enough to take care of themselves.

No one deserves to stay in a hurtful destructive R. Keeping a family whole is a choice...for TWO PEOPLE.

I am thankful...for all of you...for helping me get through the darkest 3 years of my life. It would have been much worse without your help. I am strengthened to see the courage that many women have here to hold out for an intact family. I am strengthened by the men who show courage despite feelings of emasculation. I am also strengthened by those who, have the courage to decide when their spirit has been destroyed to the point that standing longer would affect their ability to care for their children. I only wish that more M's could be saved.

I am thankful for the ability that G-d gave me to help the sick.

I am thankful for my health.

I am thankful for the good memories I have from my W but especially grateful to her for creating life with me.

I am thankful, especially, for my two beautiful children. I am so proud of them.

Save one life and you save the world entire

Thanks to all of you for helping to carry me through this.

Now...please pass the stuffing.
