I did something today that all of you have been telling me to do for some time. I called Focus on the Family and talked with a woman counselor there. To say I was both scared and excited by a mere phone call is an understatement. Things had gotten very tense between me and my husband. More on my side, then his. It seemed everything he did or said had a negative spin on it. Ever since the anniversary fiasco, I didn't deem it necessary to try and heal anymore. So needless to say, I've been miring in the muck.

I know if I don't do something positive, we will not survive. I've been given the names of two counselors, one for him dealing with being a sex addict. The other for me, being the victim of his double life. I feel God is close by me once more. I know it wasn't Him but me that grew distant. I know it will not be easy. I will have to sacrifice my pride, my pain, just me in general, to accept my husband back as my husband. Not an easy thing to do, especially when the person who has been innocent in all of this has to make the choice to do so. Justice, I'm learning, is not my department to handle. Hard, since we all want to balance the scales when wronged.

I am asking for your heartfelt prayers.
