strong & patient (most days)

[Thanks for your advice. And I hope you drag yourself at one point! My church is one of the main reasons I've come through this, friends here too of course!!! Karen

No problem. For me, I was never a very religious person. I dabbled in high school with all types, trying to find the right fit for me. I mean I do believe, I believe in a lot other things as well. But some were too 'preachy' and others to strict.

Then, a few years back my MIL became ill and diagnosed with a brain tumor. Her neice persueded her to go to her church. She did and became a regular. Eventually she had my family tag along and it's a great church, the pastor is awsome and it's a good fit for me. And the kids have an awsome time too.

The problems are, as everything tumbled out of control with XW, I begged that we start going again as we didn't after MIL passed away. So I will walk in there bearing that. Then I will no doubt run into XW's cousin, although I'm sure there's no ill feelings there as that cousin used to hold the holiday dinners, and since the appearance of OM, and miliscious ways of my former FIL, no longer does. But, XW also brought OM there already for the X-mas or Easter mass, don't remember which, maybe both.

So, that said, just another ripple effect of the D that I have to overcome, but am just about there.
