NEED ADVICE

[gunny]

Wanted to relate something from yesterday. Came home from the gym and met my next door neighbor who is aware of my sitch and asked if my w had left for ohio yet. I told her not until friday, she has been very supportive of me, knows my wife and likes her. She has been divorced 4 years from a very abusive relationship and is just now starting to come out of her fog/funk. She was telling me about how when her parents divorced after 25 years of marriage, they could not stand each other, the d was very acrimonious, deadly enemies, etc,

They did not speak for 20 years, but both remained in the same area geographically. They both remarried, and both of their spouses had passed away from cancer. Turns out they met again at a family funtion reconciled, and became best friend. Never remarried, but her father took care of her mother in her last declining years when she began suffering from dementia. I thought this was an inspiring and hopeful story, really picked me up for the evening. Just wanted to share!
