The second option is one that many on this board opt to take. It is a difficult and painful journey, one full of peril and challenge. You will feel stretched beyond what you believe you can take and yet you will continue to stand. Know this; your efforts will be rewarded as you will be of the few that have the courage to face themselves…you will get to look deep within to see all the ugliness in you. So where is the silver lining, you might ask? You will have a rare opportunity to fix the ugly parts of yourself. You will be a better person, more attune to yourself and your surroundings. You will be preparing yourself to be a much better spouse, lover, friend than you can imagine and this will ONLY come by standing alone and facing the pain, the ugliness and the struggle.
