Hi Gwen - I know you are over your post number but wanted to chime in on your last post here.

I totally identify with what you said, I was told that I should expect it to take 2yrs before I felt ok again and that was from people who had "normal" marriage breakdowns. I have pressure from g/friends to "dump his selfish arse" and get on with my life, finding someone who deserves me. So yep, I know just how hard it is to live with the turmoil, sadness and hope all on your own ......however, your not on your own, you have us, we care about you, know what you are going through and are here to support you all the way, the good, the bad and the ugly times.

Gwen, this is a life long journey you are on, as I feel that even if you do decide to shut the door on your h, the scars are still there and yes, I know they will fade with time, but I feel this is an experience that will have a profound affect on you, some parts good and some parts not so good.

So no matter how long its been and no matter what the subject of your posts please come here. We are a family, a family that won't ever make you feel that you are a nobody or a nuisance.I for one would very much miss hearing from you, we started this journey around the same time and I hope will can remain friends, helping each other through this rollercoaster life we are living.
