Doing the DB and GAL is a gift for ourselves. I admit, some days I don't do much for myself, I get caught up in the mess that is my life right now. I do, however, keep inspired by these wonderful threads-they give me hope.
I am sorry about the lies your H told you-it's hard to forgive someone who does that. It can be done, but takes time.
You sound like a strong person and you will be okay no matter what ends up happening with your H.
