sandi- I apologize that I did not see conversation on the thread in Newcomers until today. You are very much valued by the DB community, including me and the staff.
Sandi, I have seen your advice on several threads since I found the boards...any chance you could take a look at mine when you have a moment? I feel like I'm swinging back and forth wildly between doing the right things and then screwing everything up with my WAW.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I just have had you on my mind lately and thought I'd check in and see if you are still helping God heal folks here on the boards...Looks like you are still at it! Thanks for all you do for everyone here (past and present)!!!
I hope that you are feeling well, and that your family is doing well too! Happy Mother's Day just a little late!!!!
I'm fantastic!!! The boys are growing so fast (9 and 6) and are turning into wonderful little men in spite of their parents' mistakes. Thank God for that!!! My X married the OW in early March. And, I, of course, didn't hear about it until several days later and then only because the boys told me about it! It was sort of liberating for me. I guess I always figured that if God sent him back, I'd put in the effort to try to make it work. Now, he's someone else's project!!!! And, I'm a free woman!!!!
I've very active in my church group. We have a single parents' Sunday school class, and starting in the fall, we are going to be offering a mid-week class called "Single and Parenting." It will be a follow-on to the very active divorce recovery program that ministers to our community. I'm excited to be involved in that ministry.
Several weeks after my X remarried, a man dropped into my life. I met him through some mutual friends back in October, and we've remained friendly. In mid-March he came into town to visit his friends, and he and I spent quite a bit of time together while he was here on vacation. I've seen him several times since, and while it's early yet, I've already figured out that he has the stuff I need and want for my future! He's a good Christian man, with a heart of gold, and a wonderful sense of humor! So, we'll see! It's definitely different than any other dating relationship I've had...the others were fun, but none of them made me feel the way he does!
I hope that things for you are going wonderfully! I still think about you so often. Last night I told the new guy some of my story...I talked about the boards and how much strength I'd gathered from the folks here. I told him about the friends I'd made and, of course, I talked to him about you! I wish I had the energy to do what you do here for some many. But, God obviously has other things in mind for me! So, I'll continue to check in on you from time to time. Keep on keeping on!!!
Many hugs and much love! Amy
