My W said some pretty hurtful and personal things about the collapse of our marriage. Things that I wished that my parents didn't have to hear. I know that my W had to say those things so that my folks would not make her out to be the only bad guy. It still hurt.

We all hugged when it was over. I think that we are all on the road to recovery. The healing process will take time.

Thanks for the good wishes. It feels really good to be here, and I hope that my words can begin to help some of the newcomers on the board. There is hope if you adhere to the DB principles as best you can. Just a few short months ago, my W was telling me such hurtful things like she never loved me. It sounded so final. The wall was so high. It tumbled ever so slowly.
