Dear Laurie, Thank you once again from the bottom of my heart! I will keep all of your advice in mind during this difficult time. I'm trying to keep it together with mixed results. I am just now getting ready to call a new counselor (for IC though she does MC) because I got rid of the MC I saw from Mar - June, due to her anti-marriage, anti-H stance, (at least it felt that way to me, also felt judged for my DB efforts). My sisters are there for me, and I am reaching out to old friends as I am not inclined to keep this to myself anymore as I had felt like doing before. Your support means the world to me, and your advice has been so great in every instance, I think it has gotten me to the point of at least getting H to talk to me. It feels like there is no hope except when I talk to you & come on here. With your guidance at least I can know I did everything I could to try & keep D from happening. You remind me that at least I have my dignity & keeping things civil, even though I feel like lashing out against this pressure, is the best way to go. Sending (((hugs))) and my deepest appreciation for your help. Bless you! LFA
