I believe this ability to still love is what defines our strength. It speaks volumes to what we are truly made of - what's at our core. The deceit, disrespect, humiliation, etc. didn't destroy us - I have seen with my own two eyes those who it has destroyed and it's not pretty. We are still standing and in many quiet ways - thriving. Think about the "you today" and the intelligence and moral fortitude you will bring to your next relationship. Think about what you have to offer. When we all started on this journey the first thing we were told was to work on YOU and GAL, etc. Those were words we should have heard before we married the first time.
I wouldn't want to give up this ability to still love even those who have grieved us so terribly. Your kindness and wonderful heart are the core of your strength!
