I agree here.. I had no idea until I started reading this site and reading everyone's stories that it's like these words came from a macabre play that all WASs know. I'm at the point right now, that I am beginning to realize I CAN be perfectly happy without him, and that even though I don't want to do so, I can move on if that is what I need to do to protect DD and me from H's actions.
It IS scary, isn't it? You hear stats like 50% of married men cheat and you don't think much of it until you become one of the statistics. I stand in the parking lot at school with 300 other parents and think, 1/2 the people here have, are, or will be going through this at one point. So, SO humbling!

Thanks, but I still have my down days. It really wasn't until Larry introduced me to his "Me & my Freddy" (angel/devil) concept that it started to make sense.
The man I'm sharing my house with now looks and sounds like my husband, but he's not the man I married. It's like a schizohprenic version with all the accompanying Jekyll/Hyde behavior.
I'm starting to get more Jekyll than Hyde these days, thank goodness, but we're not out of the clear yet. Hopefully not much longer...
