I thought it was empowering too. I tell you, it's been a VERY strange week for me. I've been praying for God to reveal the truth to me, and for me to accept it, and those prayers are being answered in ways I never thought possible.
Today, I walked in to school and one of my son's teachers asked me if something was going on with our marriage. First reaction.....crawl under a desk. But I sat down, had a conversation, and learned that my son's moods and behavior are typical of a child with home problems. He's not having any major issues, good grades and typically a leader, but this teacher has worked with kids long enough that he nailed it. So I will be looking into counseling for him as well. Thankfully, I am getting my truth out there, and receiving the truth from others. It's emotionally draining, but FINALLY I am starting to feel "unstuck".
