Hi Kevin,

Just wanted to let you know after listening to Bob and Charlyne's CD I decided to write to my H and let him know that I forgive him for leaving me and the children and that he is welcome home if or when he wants too. I haven't let him know that for over 6 months. I was acting like I didn't care, and said hurtful things to him when he would say them to me and it wasn't right.

I let him know that me and the children miss and love him. I wasn't sure if I should do it or not because he has not contacted any of us except for the card he sent our D in 3 months. I sent it out last Monday, and that's when my S tried to take his life. My S didn't know about the letter and you know from my thread how the rest of the week went. H called about insurance for my S when he didn't have to which was on Wednesday when he received the letter but haven't heard a word since.

You are so right because it does take a lot of patience! I'm standing for my M but I'm so lonely and I know the odds are greatly against me since my MIL is greatly involved and I think has my H convinced that divorce is the only answer. Also don't know if I did the right thing or not but something was telling me to hang up our wedding pic again. I took it down 3 months after he left because it depressed me so much but I did hang it back up and talked to the kids last night and told them about God hating divorce and we all need to pray that H gets better and wants to come home.

I just don't know if he is with someone else now or not....don't know if I want to know either.
