Jenny, it was truly inspirational to read your post and to sense the upswing in your outlook. Doesn't it seem that there comes a time when the words said may not be so different but there is a sense that tension has lifted and the withdrawn spouse is truly glad to be "home"?
All of us have walked through different but similiar valleys. I still struggle with a sense of loss and some distrust of my H's judgment after things he said, believed, and did. Generally, things get better daily as I am coming to see that my h's number one objective is to be the best husband and father that he can be.
I feel somehow bonded to those of you who have opened your hearts on this board and in doing so have encouraged me. I am glad that your h has "come home." Your children have of course been affected by the bad times, but they will surely benefit now from the renewed commitment and joy in your marriage. Thanks for uplifting all of us by sharing your success!
