Re: This is so messed up
Firefly - This journey is tough but it helped when I stopped looking for my GID husband to own up to his SH**! I realize that he didn't care how much pain he caused me. I had to do what was best for me and my sanity. It sucks because we still care and love these men! However, love is not enough. Love is a byproduct of respect and trust. Both have been breached in our cases!
With God, therapy, and a good Attorney, I can say that I am on the road to healing. But I stopped looking for any answers from my husband. It became counter-productive and kept me stuck.
Hang in there!
