Julie you're a gifted writer and I'm a new fan.

If this is as recent as I think it is - I just want to say you have grown emotionally and spiritually faster, stronger and more beautifully - than from what I've read from those who have experienced a trauma as devastating as your husband's twisted and cruel request for divorce.

I just wanted to say it for the record after reading through all the comments: your husband will be back. I feel his doom is inevitable and sadly will be so costly to him. So whatever your decision will be - do ponder that possibility. I just get the biggest inkling -- he's gonna be begging like a child for forgiveness.

Here's wishing you continued peace, growth -- but much love! Oh you deserve the world of it!!!!!
