Weird, but looking at my life the past 2 years--I feel like I'm a stronger person, more confidence, stronger faith. It's been in a weird way, a good experience. I know some others at my church have really grown through tough experiences too.
I really believe a lot of the anger/hatred that comes from your wife is prob. her own guilt and anger at herself kind of projected onto you. You can't be full of anger like that and be a happy person, so I think she's def. had consequences in that way. Karen
