Need HOPE- part II

[PERSEVERANCE]

Thanks Purgatory,
I really appreciate the encouragement. Our sitch's have some unique similarities. Your H will be away, you will both have time to reflect, heal & hopefully realize that the old R is gone... But you can move forward together with a new, better, healthier R.
Your right, it was difficult telling our Uncle about the pending D. As the priest that married us and our boys' Godfather...he has always been close to our hearts... He was incredibly shocked and saddened.
Afterward, my W said that Uncle X brought up some valid points & that she needed some space since the afternoon was overwhelming.
I said no problem... Offered to help her with a few things & went to go hang out with the kids. I'm not sure if she is overwhelmed and having second thoughts or simply overwhelmed by breaking the news to Uncle X? I won't try to get inside her head ( too crowded) : )
Just keep on working on ME... The only person in the world that I have control of. Another ic Appt next week- actually enjoy it.
Thought of an infantry term from my youth "embrace the suck"
... Really is appropriate for our sitch's. Take ownership of your problems and weaknesses, know them- then overcome. Don't let the problems and despair define you, you are defined by how you respond to the adversity.
Oh well...rambling again
Take care
P
