Well, I had planned to stay off the boards and did so - refusing to post on my own sitch, but wanted to drop in and see how others were doing. This clearly caught my eye...

Matt, you've been such an inspiration and beacon of hope to me and many here - indeed, a good friend. Thanks for everything you've done to encourage me. It's been wonderful watching you grow day by day, making the changes you need to make to be a better man and, God and your W willing, a better husband.

As for your W - no matter what is going on in your marriage and separation, and no matter how you feel about your husband's participation on this board, you must be a good and worthy woman for Matt to have fought so hard to be the man you deserve, and to fight for the marriage and family to which he committed. You will do what you have to do, of course. But I do hope you'll take time to reflect on that. I know I can say I wish my W loved me half as much as Matt loves you.

God bless you both, and all the best in the life for you and your daughters.
