Sorry, I had to continue a new post. For some reason when I try and quote or bold any portion of a post the screen jumps all over the place.

If you have been in this situation for over a year don't you think it might be time to try something different? Early on we are all emotionally charged and do stupid crap. Now though you should start to handle things in a different way for you and your child.

It's difficult to try and offer advice when it seems there are only certain things you want to hear. As you know, as a group we can see and process things in a different way as we have no emotional attachment to your H or your marriage. So while what we say to you might not *feel* helpful instead of pointing out how unhelpful it is, why not sit on for a day then go back and read it again when you are in a better frame of mind.

Nobody here is out to get you, attack you or make you feel worse. We are here to support you BUT that support needs to be more than hugs and hand holding.

You are not a victim. I am not a victim. The circumstances are far from ideal but we do have some power and control and as women, we *have* to choose to use it.

Are you seeing a C?
