Just read your threat from 9/2/07 - WOW! Thanks for sharing.
Can't believe how long you fought for your marriage and all the twists and turns it took. A lot of men would have been l-o-n-g gone by the 1st George W. Administration. That you stayed AND endured an affair speaks volumes about your character.
You're amazing!
I once worked with an older woman whose son contracted polio c. 1947 and was put in an iron lung. J said she and her husband went to the hospital every day to see him, and J would often pull the princess card and yell at the doctor in front of everyone in the waiting room for not doing more for her son.
Meanwhile, there was a dignified young woman there every day by herself. When J decided to speak to her one day, she learned the woman had lost her husband in WWII and that ALL 4 of her sons, ages 6-12, were in iron lungs. J said she shut her mouth after that never yelled at the doctor again.
That's kind of how I feel when I see stories like yours or Piano's or NewMama's - as bad as I think I've got it, it could ALWAYS be worse.
Thanks for digging into your past and serving me some humble pie.
