OMW - It's funny, you're saying some of the things my H said to me. I think the pain of losing a marriage brings out a lot of what ifs and you start to think of all the bad things and the could have beens.

Vent for awhile, but I strongly suggest you look to the gifts your marriage brought you that you keep no matter how it ends. And write them down, really look at them. Not just your daughter, but other things. It's true we get too caught up in material things/mortgages, etc. And throwing off some of that stuff now is great - streamline.

I want you to be happy and wish you all the best. I've had my own, why the hell do people ever get married moments and expect more before this is done.


Faith is, at one and the same time, absolutely necessary and altogether impossible.
