Marriage is such a journey--so tricky b/c it can have such highs and lows--but the journey needs two people willing to go through each of those highs and lows.

Having gone through a similar experience over the last few years, I'm here if you want to vent or anything else. <br /><br />You will come out on the other side with a strength you didn't know you were capable of.

From what I know of you, just from this blog, I sense that you will make it through this storm with your head held high.

Justin was living here until Wednesday this past week, so we didn't tell Reece anything until he left. I had six weeks to process, to cry, to get it all out, to create a plan for moving forward, and so on before telling Reece. It was good actually as it put me in a good place to be fully there for Reece. I feel much stronger now then I did six weeks ago, and every day it gets a little better. <br /><br />Things are slowly settling, and Reece and I are finding our new norm. I have become very good at acknowledging the anger and bitterness, and then letting those feeling go, as they don't serve me well at all. And with that has come acceptance too, for what was, what happened, and the new path I am about to embark on. It will still take time, most likely a lot of time, to heal, but I am seeing the light, and that feels so darn good. <br /><br />xoKim https://www.blogger.com/profile/08476209107377395745noreply@blogger.com
