B4S--not sure if I've ever written to you....but I have been following.
First, you and your family will be in my prayers today. I will think of you and send you thoughts of a happy life after this. I hope that this D does not get ugly and passes quickly in your life. You have much living to do.
I have seen all the work you have done to save your M. It's amazing. I would only hope that my H could do 1/8 of that without the pity parties, whining and all the other horrific drama that ensued.
You're right. The saddest thing is to see things clearly, and to regret the choice we made in a partner. That we chose someone who could not stand up to a challenge or tough time. To see all your efforts and hope and love spent on someone who cannot feel that for themselves, let alone another person.
You are a wonderful man. Know that when you walk into that meeting today. Goodness will follow you.
I have seen you these past few months see the light on the other side of the mountain. I see that in my life now too. And, in the words of my good friend recently "you see the light, life is beautiful on the other side of this misery....keep walking towards it. It will be great."
