Hi H4L, I did have a good day, so glad to hear you did too!
Journaling:
Met with Pastor today. The one who broke the PA bomb to me, which I am so grateful for, as devestating as it was. He was so encouraging. Neither H or myself have been able to bring ourselves to attend church since this sitch. Each of us for different reasons, but I know it will be good for us to do that, and good for the kids. OW attended there too...occasionally, but Pastor says she has not been there or contacted him since he confronted her after telling me everything. He apparently told her that I and H would have his support, and he could not support her as well.
Anyway, he affirmed how well I have handled this sitch, and talked about how he has observed other betrayed spouses not be able to forgive, even when WAS is repentant and remorseful. He said he is amazed at how I have been able to restrain myself from seeking vengeance of any kind and been able to handle things with grace and dignity with my head held high.
Well, folks, I just plain needed to hear that.
It did a little bit of healing for me.
And then, to have someone IRL pray out loud for me... I haven't had that either, b/c everything has been such a big secret. I just needed to hear audible proof that someone is caring for me in this sitch.
