I just wanted to thank everyone who has helped me through this past month of my husband leaving me and now with the health problems I am having caused by the stress of this situation.If it wasnt for everyone in this site I dont believe I would of had the strength and courage to get rid of him and move on the way I have.I do believe that the stress in your life does effect your health and so does having a positive attutide,plus a great support system like all of you here.If there is anyone whos spouse has left or not helping,or being understanding please e-mail me-would love to talk to others who have gone through the same thing.Love you all and lots of hugs also.

Love,Lori

    God Bless You! bc and a faithless spouse. You are a strong woman. I too find this site very helpful. I learn so much from everyone's postings. The treatments, side effects, complcations ect.... Most of these were not covered with my surgeon, plastic surgeon and oncologist. Everyone here is a font of information and bouncing questions here gives me a good place to stat checking. You are in my prayers. Beth

    I'm pretty sure that when I look back at this year, the thing that will stick in my craw the most is the fact that many people thought of my husband as a "good man" simply because he did not run out the door and never come back when it hit the fan. How could he go without a fully stocked refrigerator? If he left, who would clean his toilet? Hugs, Denise

    Lori - I noted your new email address - thanks for sending it. I know you have a lot to deal with - and none of us can truly understand how tough it must be - but remember - we are all with you 100% and praying for you every day. Love, Badger

    But if a woman left her husband, or spoke of problems with staying, she would be a bi---. And all the other woman who stay are not recognized a s"Good Women", just doing the expected. Oh my, the injustice of it all. Beth

    I am also going through a terrible time with my husband. He was very "supportive" up until I had my mastectomy. Now when I look back, I realize it was me who was supporting him - always telling him it would be all right and reassuring him when he would get upset. He won't look at me now, never a hug, never a kiss, barely a kind word.

    In sickness and in health means to a man -- it's OK if she gets the flu!

    I have your email and I will email you because there aren't many people you can talk to this about unless they've been there.

    Take care, Miraclemom --
