Shining, your post is beautiful. I totally understand your love for your H. I also still love the man I married. In fact, all of this has made me realize that my love for him is much deeper and profound than I imagined. And UR I also understand your wish for peace for your H. It is sad to think all of this destruction in their quest only to think they never achieve that peace in their lives.

It is hard for people to understand who haven't dealt with this extreme behavior. Society just wants everyone to move on and be happy on your own. It just doesn't work that way.
