Because I've been coming to this site and have learned how to work on me, heal and grow, life IS good.

I'm sorry you took that as a "badge of courage". It is LIFE. It is a journey, not a race. I'm feeling badgered here for having made progress slowly and frankly, I don't deserve that. If by any chance you were celebrating my growth, thanks. It seems by some of these comments that if I'm not leaving my husband, then I'm a target here. That is NOT acceptable.
