Raine, I am so blown away by your journey. I've just spent the last hour reading your posts and trying to soak in just an ounce of your wisdom. You are truly destined to be indoctrinated as one of the great all-time vets.
I realize you have a lot more work ahead of you but I am so impressed by what you have accomplished so far. Even though the small amount of hope I have for my sitch seems to be dwindling, and H and I have consulted with a mediator (the D process is looming for 2014), having read these posts has given me more inspriration to keep that door slightly ajar. I realize we all here share a common theme, yet, each sitch has it's own details that keeps them unique. And to compare our own experience to your situation is only natural, but there's also that realization that we may not be as 'lucky.' However, through your experience we can find some comfort and hope in that it's possible given we do the hard work. So thank you for that.
And thank you for your brute honesty, your clarity, your strength and determiniation. I can only hope to be as strong and clear in my actions as you. I wish you both all the strength and love you need to overcome this so you can live the rest of your lives together steeped in the greatest of love.
Look forward to following you . . .
Thank you, again!
(BTW, where did you get your inspiration and guidance? This forum? DR? DB? All of the above?)
