Kaffe Diem, I don't know what to say. Thank you. Your post touched me so much, specially the last paragraph.

I am a different person. If I knew what I know now 4 years ago, my life would be very different right now. I probably would have never met my wife in the first place.

I never believed people when they said that shock and trauma can change you dramatically. That if you survive them, you typically become a better, stronger person. But you do, it's the truth. My approach to other people and relationships completely changed in the last couple of months, it's as if I am living a different live. But how do I make my wife see that? Or do I even want to?

Thanks to my strength, to my friends, and also thanks to DB/DR and this forum. These are days that I will always remember for the rest of my life.

Thank you!
