[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 657646, member: 17461"] Yes, it does help. It makes every difference in the world. As we go through it though, so many of us lose our marriages. There are two of you then, trying to see yourselves and each other and what to do about your child. And that can tear us apart. Here is a story. So, whatever was going on, D H and I were in the thick of it for a long time. And oh man, I hated my D H. One night, I woke up and was thinking about how much I detested everything about him. I turned over, so I could look at him while he was asleep and think about how much I didn't even want one thing to do with him, or with our kids or my marriage or my life at that point. And, awake in the night too, my D H was looking right back at me, with that same expression on his face. Both of us turned over and pretended to go to sleep. We are married now for 42 years, together 43. *** We are so grateful you are here with us too, I wantpeace. We have been where you are. The sole comfort in knowing the things we know now about how life can turn out is helping, or consoling, or just plain being present, when one of us is still so hurt and puzzled by what is happening to her, and to her child. I am very glad you found the site, that you found us. Cedar [/QUOTE]
