Thank you for taking the time to share your story. While you never commented on my sitch directly, I have learned, and continue to learn, so very much from your posts to others here. I am grateful for the strong, smart, compassionate ladies like yourself here at DB who have stayed around to share your knowledge with those who follow you.
25 - it's so weird to read your old threads and see you were just like the rest of us when the bomb dropped. I can feel your pain and panic between the lines of your words back in 06.
I can see how much you evolved out of that extremely tough sitch.
25 thank you so much for sharing with us. As everyone else has said, you really have done a great job getting through and evolving from your sitch. You have helped so much of us here, and truly are a generous, kind and caring person. Thank you for everything.

I echo the sentiments of many other people here. Your comments throughout our sitches have been greatly appreciated, as they are full of wisdom and wonderful advice! IMO, you and MWD herself are two of the best weapons against divorce there are! (As well a tool toward promoting personal growth, positive outlook, in one's self, etc.)
