Some of you might remember me from the other bp spouse support group though I haven't been active much lately. I think it’s time for me to leave unfortunately.

I am sad to say we have finally broken up. I'm devastated, no matter how bad things got he is the love of my life and has been since I was 15 years old. I think I’m in shock, totally numb, it doesn’t feel real and I haven't even been able to cry yet. But I know something is going to give soon enough and I just hope I’m not facing another break down. One week before university starts again, what wonderful timing.

I just wanted to thank everyone that has ever given me advice here, you have been a comfort.

I especially want to thank damsel and imnoangel, you guys have been great.

Beaudom, I do remember you from the other group. I am so sorry things didn't turn out better for you. It would be really difficult to let the love of your life since 15 go, I feel for you. I hope and pray he comes to terms with the loss and your next encounter is a positive one.

Please take care of yourself, and we are here for you.

It isn't my husband's fault he has an illness. It is his responsibility on how he treats it so he doesn't hurt others or himself in the midst of it.

My opinion, is just that, I am here to share my experience, strength and hope to those whose lives have been affected by this disorder :)

That's what we all do, listen to one another and show we care. Thank you for being there for us, as well. I hope things really get better for you. Take care.

Beaudom, I wish you peace in your decision and want you to know you are always welcome here, you can stay and heal for a while.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.
