Hi Lou,
I've finally caught up on your story. WOW!
Lou, you are amazing! I cannot believe all you've been through in the past 16 months. You are much better than I am at controlling your emotions. I remember reading in your 2nd or 3rd chapter how one day you hoped you could help someone the way you were being helped here. Well, I'm that someone you have helped; thank you for your wisdom, kindness and support. I hope to be able to follow your example in NC and GAL.

Our stories are quite similar also. Your H's family situation sounds quite a lot like how my H grew up. I've come to believe that they have to re-create the trauma to finally heal from it. We're collateral damage... getting hit by friendly fire, to continue the analogy.

So I find myself wondering how it's going with you and H this weekend. I'm praying for you Lou, that this is a wonderful weekend. keep us posted! xoxoxo

"Someone I loved once gave me
A box full of darkness.
It took me years to understand,
That this too, was a gift."
