Cathy, I am pretty new here; but, I wanted to thank you for sharing. It is encouraging to know that there are success stories. It is good to know there is hope. I have been apart from my h for 2 months now. We do see each other once or twice a week-he comes to see the kids and he spent Thanksgiving w/us. While he has been gone, my faith/relationship w/ God has gotten stronger and for that I am thankful. but, I still want my h home, I am just scared of getting hurt more than I have been already. I am so happy for you and I wish for you the best. I hope that one day I reach the maturity that you have & that my h comes home soon. God Bless YOU!!!! deb
