Where you're at is a human place. When I first realized I was actually in a place where divorce was a real possibility, I wrote "180" on the insides of each of my wrists as a reminder to stop and think before I let my instincts rule me again. It pains me to think how different things could have been had I come to acceptance of my reality six months sooner.
But I couldn't. And you know what? As much as I am still a work in progress, I would not trade who I am today with who I would have stayed being had I not gone down this dark and crooked path. Is it worth it?
...yes. (The hesitation is out of respect for the pain this time has caused our extended family and some of our friends.)
So. You're on the dark and crooked path. But you've got maps in your hands, so don't get lost in the woods.
You'll get there. Just keep walking.
