In other words, I am pretty desperate....certainly don't expect to you respond on Thanksgiving day but at least I can ask my questions and let go for the day. Since I am too impatient to wait for your punchline (though I know you are no longer with your husband) I would love to know: How is your beautiful sweet sensitive kind x-husband doing? I have one of those too (not the x part) except we are going on twenty years...with 4 and 6 year old boys. Has your husband written anything for public consumption and if so where can we access it? Would he be willing to dialogue with my husband? We are still married but really struggling. How are your children doing? I know there are impacts and those impacts shape who we become. I guess I am asking if they are OK, if they are thriving, if they truly get to experience more love instead of loss of the perfect family. My kids have a perfect family life, truly, with that one big exception that they are not aware of...yet. Thank you so much for your beautiful poetry and prose. I loved your chapter as well. You capture the beauty and the despair in a way that spoke to me more than anything that I have read (and I have read a lot). I think it's because we have similar husbands and you are a superb writer:) You are through it. I am still in it. I have allowed this to go on for 8 years now with my husband. Safe to say that we are just a tiny bit risk averse...here comes the kids with my latte. Thank you again for sharing your story. Hi there,

My recently-ex-gf has stumbled upon your site (she will be writing to you soon) but I just wanted to drop you a quick note. I really loved your poem in a recently published book. The poem touched my heart and I shared it with anyone that knows my story. I am disparately in love with my gf whole I had to end the relationship with because of her inability to leave her husband and I am married to the most wonderful man who wants to see me happy regardless of what I do to our marriage. I too have a blog that helps depart from reality and focus on something creative - which is cooking! http://cuceesprouts.com/ i would love to keep in touch with you, if that is possible Hi Jeanette.

I read a few entries, but could not finish them. It made me feel very sad, as I am going through my own process. There are days I feel stronger and want to plow through your entire blog, learning more with every word, thirsty for new thoughts and revelations ... but there are days where the sadness is just too hard to sit with. so, what I want to tell you is, thanks... one day I will be emotionally strong enough to read every word you've written and take it to heart. I want to live life and breathe again....and one day, I will find my path and one day I will find my words again. You shared this blog on AJ a while back.
