So far I've gotten the impression that you don't have children--is that right? I have two boys, and before their dad left he never had the time of day for them. Now he has them 50% of the time. I know that it's good for them to have a dad at long last--but there are still days upon days when it's hard to breathe because I miss my children so much. And the biggest struggle for me is trying to figure out what Christian love and forgiveness mean for me now, what they demand of me, how I can keep trying to live with those ideals when (in part at least) it was my commitment to a faithful and forgiving life that enabled him to treat me so badly for so long. Wendy Farley's book "The Wounding and Healing of Desire" is helping me sort some things out (like how easy it is to be captivated by what is good but only a small part of The Good). I look forward to reading more of your story, and I wish you every blessing as you move forward.
