Hi SBJ. I don't post regularly anymore, but I just read some of your posts.

4 years for me. I read "The Hiding Place" Corrie Ten Boom, and a line in it really helped me. Summarized, the father in the story asks Corrie why he didn't let her carry the suitcase on trips when she was little, and she says "It was too heavy for me", the father says "So it is with God". Our burdens are too heavy to carry without His help, His timing is perfect, and His plan is for our good and His glory, despite how it feels in the middle of it.

I, too, relied on my faith to get me through. I didn't find out proof of my XH's GF until January of this year. The confirmation came through my daughter in law, and at just the right time.

The bike race that you were training for was supposed to come through my town!! I'm in the middle of you and the DFW guys. If you get together, save a stool for me. It's always nice to have community that understands what we are going through.

Anyway, your sitch just resonated with me. I hope you are in a great place.
