Maybell, thank goodness you're here. Seriously. I can't fully process everything you wrote but I will. I will. The statement: "your opinion of what your future could be is just as valid as his" helped me turn a small corner. Thank you. The rest is too much for me to take in. Do you ever get that way. Where more than a simple sentence is more than you can process?

Zimmy, I'm not averse to being friends but I don't want to be just buddies with my H. It feels like a consolation prize. If we get divorced, it's the best thing for my daughter but it's not what I want. What about you? Could you settle for just being friends after all this? There's no wrong answer, it's a GREAT thing to think about. I'm grateful you stopped by to comment on my thread. I'm not up on your sitch but all threads have something to teach us. Welcome to mine. I'll head on over and read up on yours.

Claire, I have another coaching session with Laurie. She's great. I'm sure chuck is awesome, too. I'm just feeling like I'm at a standstill. How can a coach make a difference at this point?

I'm so glad you all are here. I'm not sure I could survive this otherwise.
