Dear Denise, My heart goes out to you. I came to this board because 25 years after my husband left, because I still grieve, and I don't want anyone to feel this pain. I grieve for my daughter, for myself, perhaps for my former husband's loss as well. I regret that I didn't "ride it out" just a little bit longer for the sake of my daughter, for the sake of myself and for the sake of everyone else who was involved.
There are many positives working in your favor. You said you know he loves you. He's there with you, not elsewhere. That's his apology for now. I'm not a counselor, and please know, I may be dead wrong, but I suspect that the injustice you feel is wearing on you. Don't let it. Be joyful, focus on the future, build something together (and I mean that literally). Build a wooden planter, take sailing lessons together, buy new bikes, have fun!
The price my little family paid because there was no Dr. Scott Halzman at the time, was too high. When I heard him on our local radio station, I knew he had something that counselors in the 70s never had - a third option - to make it work. All warm wishes.
