Day One of . . .Year One??

Punkin -
First of all, I am really glad to hear from you. Secondly, I think these haunting questions you are facing are quite normal, expected, and appropriate. I guess I have to come back to this belief:

I married a man who vowed to love me for better or worse...exactly the way I made the same vows to him. Did I turn my back and leave because of his imperfections? No. Is it wrong for me to believe that I was owed the same respect? I readily admit my flaws and actually feel like I own them and continue to work on them.

This was not my fault! This was not YOUR fault! NO ONE deserves the disrespect, humiliation, heartache, etc that we have experienced. Take the time to heal - you deserve it!
