From the Ministry of Silly Walks (LoisBThread3)

You are the best Snodderly! And Bea! Wonder how many women and kids you've helped?

My mom has 36 years sober in AA and I've watched her "serve" others over the years. It's like God reaching out through people like you. But, it takes it toll. Hope you take good care of yourself too.

It is mind boggling. I do believe what goes around, comes around... Yes, it may take 12 years, but the truth won't stay hidden forever.

My Dad did this same thing to my Mom. He ended up marrying the OW, making millions and living this life others may only dream about. I always had a hard time with how things turned out. My mother jumped into another marriage that was disasterous and abusive.

I saw my Dad the other day. He's been with us every step of the way through all of this. Our car had broken down and he stopped in and I told him the latest in the soap opera.

My Dad started to tense up and, instead of taking it personally and feeling defensive about his tension... I was able to see it for what it was. My Dad was worried about me. He has hurt watching all this and it probably hurts more knowing he did some of the same stuff to his own kids and wife.

God truly works in mysterious ways. I see that in your story about your XH. How sad.

Here's my funny story. H was over this week and I was telling him about a close friend who lost her job because she has MS and applied for disability. H made some comment about disability and I responded about how a mutual friend had a friend who slept with the psychologist in order to get disability (the OW). I'm like "can you believe that, sick. this woman had sex with her psychologist for disability." He was oblivious, and answered, "Really? wow, that's horrible." dumba$$
