I was here 7 years ago. Busted it that time and learned so, so, SO much. About him, about myself, my faults, my weaknesses, strengths.
Learned about spiritual gifts. Love languages. Abuse and what it does to adults. Learned how to handle my bitter mother. My imprisoned brother. My dying father.
Learned about detachment. Learned patience. Learned my favorite of all--forgiveness. I have come to embrace this crazy, rollercoaster, wildly wonderful thing called life. It didn't come with a manual. We get to figure it out all on our own.
I will never, never, EVER be sorry my H wanted a D 7 years ago. And that he went and filed in Aug. He has set my world upside down but....I have learned how to look at these things in a completely different way.
Another favorite--focus on the positives. So many, many gifts they give us. We can be better. Sometimes we can win them back, sometimes not. But always, we can be better.
