Wow, Serenity . . . if you're not careful, you're going to make me sound . . . shall I say it?? NICE!
You have my support, and my unconditional understanding. Even the Christian (and even the Christian pacifist) has a right to defend themselves, and their family, and I believe that is what you are doing. Even if I DIDN'T have that conviction from knowing your sitch (and I do), just the strong, careful, prayerful, and PATIENT way in which you have sought out your Answer, would lead me to believe that you were in God's will with what you have decided.
Even on the day I gave up on myself, you were right here...Stubbornly making me see what was right in front of me all along...I only wish it wouldn't have taken me so long to see what you already knew so many months ago.
Dorothy: Oh, will you help me? Can you help me?
Glinda: You don't need to be helped any longer. You've always had the power to go back to Kansas.
Dorothy: I have?
Scarecrow: Then why didn't you tell her before?
Glinda: Because she wouldn't have believed me. She had to learn it for herself.

My friend - You made me cry at work - This was perfectly telling and I thank you and don't worry - Your "niceness" is safe with me, I won't tell anyone.
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 am extremely happy for you, Serenity. I know this has been a hard road for you, especially as of late.
I have absolutely no doubts that you will be a happier person in the long run, no matter what happens with your husband.

Sometimes we find ourselves the victim of others' free will. At those times we have to ensure that we are aligned with the ways God has instructed us to go about our lives.
It sounds to me that you are at peace with God and He is at peace with you. You fought for what was right. That's all any of us can do. You will be blessed for your efforts. I wish you the best, serenity.

Too late... the secret's out... Puppy... what a powerful quote! You are our "Glinda" heehee...
(((Serenity))) I am so proud of you, and so happy for you. I don't think anyone could doubt that you have made the right decision for you and your boys.
