Happy New Year, my friend, for both of us. You are the one who has given me the strength I needed to get from where I was emotionally to where I am today. My sitch is different today, but not markedly. You directed me to find myself and claim my manhood and my maturity. You directed me to take a critical look at myself fearlessly and see both the good and the bad; to celebrate the good and strive to remedy the less-than good.
To you, my dear Frank, I am forever indebted. You taught me to look at myself and my XW from a new perspective and to understand that I am NOT to blame for ALL of the ills in any given relationship that I actually valued. Through you, I have seen potential successes and potential pitfalls. Through you, I see how a MAN handles his victories and challenges; how a MAN reaches out to aid others to improve; how a MAN encourages other men to learn to be the men they were born to be.
I ache for you. I understand that D is frowned upon by God, unless our S possesses a hardened heart. God may eventually show me exactly that about my XW, but thankfully He hasn't, as of yet, so I march on with my original purpose, but with greater focus and greater knowledge thanks specifically to you.
I pray for the best outcome for all for you and yours. I pray that for whatever income He deems best, if it is not to your wishes or liking, that He touches you with the wisdom and understanding to SEE His will and be at peace; that you all will learn to bend your will to HIS and not do, like I have done to many times, to bend His will to yours.
