Also, you have some of the top people on this sight trying to help you who have been where you are. Please listen to them. FaithfulH and Coach have both rescued their M's when all seemed hopeless. I have never posted to Coach before but have read many of his threads. I also asked 25yearsmlc to help you as well. She is also in the process of piecing her M back together after 3 years. I hope she will come talk to you.
These people are all gifts to you as well as the others that are in your circumstances right now that have a ton of advice and widom to offer you.
Please listen to them and do not give up before the fight has even really gotten started for you M. Your kids are counting on you. God is counting on you. The people on this forum are counting on you to find strength within yourself. We know you can do it. But you have to believe within yourself. I liked FaithfulH's comment about your W being on a long mental vacation and you needing to be better when she comes back.
A lot of times, people give up to soon on their WAS and they just turn another way. They don't hang in there for what might have been and as a result they don't get to be part of what might have been an even better M than it ever was before. Keep walking. Your S is worth every bit of pain that you are going through right now. There is a mountain in front of you. But when you get to the other side of that mountain, you will see that it was worth it. You are being tested right now. Can you climb that mountain or are you going to look at it and say it is to high and turn your back and walk the other way? Which is it? We know that you can climb it. But do you believe you can climb it. It doesn't matter what we know, it matters what you think about yourself.
Yes, this is the most difficult time of your life. Face this and you can face anything. Take this on and you can take on anything. Stand with us for your M.
