Sucky situation no doubt however I am starting to see the people chosen for this path, are some of the strongest people I have ever encountered...
While our WAS's are weak (at the moment), God has provided them with some wonderfully strong spouses.
Spouses who didn't know they had it in them, spouses that now have spines of steel and hearts expanded to forgive something most people find unforgivable.
Spouses who learn something new about themselves every step of this journey...
Regardless of the outcome in each of our situations, we are better because of this journey.
This is how I see us - All of us.
May All Who Seek To Take My Life Be Put To Shame And Confusion; May All Who Desire My Ruin Be Turned Back In Disgrace. ~Psalm 40:14~
I would like to add that at some point the WAS will recognize this incredible strength and courage whether it be tomorrow or 10 years from now. They may never acknowledge it to the LBS, but at least we will be better individuals for having gone through this process.

((((Serenity))))) You seem to have such a great, healthy perspective right now. To be able to release these things to God and find some rest in that....not only is that what you need, but it shows such strength of character! You are an amazing woman!
I was just checking in and saying hi. I haven't been on here too much lately. Work has been a little crazy. We haven't had the best year. Manager says if we don't see some improvement in the next 6 months, "adjustments" will need to be made.
You seem to be doing well given your circumstances. Hope the CS comes through soon; I would find the bi-weekly race to the bank annoying.
Thank you so much for what you said - I have never looked at myself like that however it is wonderful feeling to have it pointed out.

Always nice to see you and I have noticed you have been missing lately so I will catch up on your sitch and I hope all is well. CS hasn't kicked in yet so I am still making that run however hopefully soon that will be a thing of the past. I hope business improves for you quickly!
