Y'all,

Greetings... I've been lurking up until now because I *finally* finished reading this thread and the past 3 that were locked out! *whew*

Not to "get in the way" of your wonderful back-and-forth on books and such, but I just wanted to say that I've gotten so much out of your postings. Thank you. I see you all as quite strong and brave in many many ways.

I'm just beginning to confront my W about a SSM and my EA and a bunch of "stuff" (you know, the stuff of life). She has immersed herself into motherhood since D2 was born (didn't happen after D6 was born, only after D2). She knows about my EA and yet we've never dealt with it. I fear that she'll become a WAW, and I suppose that would be "the easy way out" to let her do it. Anyway, we'll see where it goes after I give her a letter (in the process of writing it) and Michele's SSM book to read.

The thread that I started is here: Here I am, as a "last resort"

Just wanted to say hi. Now back to your regularly scheduled program, already in progress........

- Chris.
