I have been asked by S Anon WSO to remove S Anon from my blog title. Out of respect for the organization and all the help they have provided to so many people, I have consented. My blog address and name will remain the same except the word S Anon has been removed. I am […]

My husband is becoming the man that I loved and married. He is becoming himself. He has been taking time for me, bringing me small gifts, he is attentive and kind. He listens when I speak. He is really trying. He is making sense. He is making well thought out logical decisions. He is doing […]

Yesterday was a miracle. My husband apologized for 2 very big moments in our lives. For the first time since these moments happened, he apologized. What a difference it has made to hear him accept full responsibility and say he is sorry for what he did and how it affected me. It feels like a […]
