Mandyloo...you have been at this a long time and are doing well. You are an inspiration. I started this journey in May of 07. I don't really post anymore but still check in for encouragement. I think my original post was under the name hurtinginside. I separated from my wife in March. She was miserable and I was miserable after almost 3 years of the same. I didn't want to be the reason or the cause of someones unhappiness. Even though I knew it was not me....it was and still is MLC(I think!).

Maybe I should update my thread if it's still here.

I don't mean to highjack your thread but if I could ask HeartsBlessing to expalin more about being afraid of the dark. I still talk to my wife daily when I see the kids. When the kids are with me she sleeps on the couch and I asked her why. She basically said she is scared to sleep upstairs by herself. I said of what and she said the dark, monsters and she sort of trailed off. I do feel terrible for her, I'm out of the house and the happiness hasn't followed yet. I just don't understand the being afraid of the dark thing.

Sorry again Mandyloo...your sitch will be in my prayers tonight.

Matt
