First, HeartsBlessing, GREAT POST. Very inspirational.

Lori, right now the pain is so near the surface it is hard to focus on anything else. Even when you know you are the responsible adult here and have children to think of. I know this is not really great consolation, but as time goes by, things will and do become clearer and easier, and keeping your faith, letting go and letting God, will be the hardest and best thing you may ever do.

I, too abandoned my faith for many years. Not abandoned, perhaps, but put it on a back burner due to H's feelings. That was wrong of me. I have it back now, and it's made a world of difference in my life.

Hang in there Lori, we are all here for you and for each other.
