Paperwork almost done, but not me!

I don't know what the future holds. Even staring in the face of a d, my hope is still strong. I know I shouldn't put much faith in statistics, but hey I am optimistic. They say 14% of d's are reconciled. So out of 100, 14 make it. How many of those involved some type of abuse? How many of them really shouldn't have ever happened? How many of those were two people where neither wanted to try? How many of those were LBS that embraced the anger and blew all their chances? Huh, so your telling me there's a chance. I am not naive, and I feel like I am getting to a good place, but there is always hope. And I believe I need to be at that place where I am at peace with imagining Christmas with somebody else. Be it my w after she has worked out what she is going through or someone else.

Quite right my friend. And to top it off, as long as the kids are home, we'll always be a part of our spouse's life and they of ours, so as long as we don't burn bridges by letting our anger dictate our actions and words and say of do something we can't take back, there is still hope.

Cheers my friend. This cheered me up.
