What A Heart Wants

[MsTree]

The war between the heart and the mind is the hardest battle ever fought. There are no winners. But hopefully, the prisoner can set him/herself free.

Your heart and mind need to learn to work in conjunction. They serve and protect each other making you a well adjusted person.Pam

I guess in reality they are. It doesn't feel like it, but they must be or I wouldn't be able to make this choice in my life. It's taken me 7 months of sitting at a crossroads not knowing which way to go. I'm taking a right. I didn't want to make the decision on emotions. I had to make the decision when I felt the time had come. It has come.

I am usually swayed a little more by my heart. I know we need to be practical and take care of ourselves, but it means nothing without the emotional connection. That being said I just read your response to MAS Nurse and I think you are making the right choice. You will need courage. In general I find its the things people don't do that they end up regretting. You know we will be here for you Pam

Hi MsTree and thank you for your post. I just wanted to say hello and reassure you that you are not alone. Please tell us a little bit more about how you are feeling. Are any other forum members able to help MsTree, please?

Thank you and best wishes.

Yes, MAS, I have had so much support I feel like I have some self-worth again. I'm going through a divorce after 41 years of marriage and I still love my husband. I had to decide my fate between the worst of 2 evils. I don't know that I can be any happier without him, but I can't live with being suspicious of his every mood. I have to move forward. The pain is like mourning the death of a child. It's the worst pain I've ever had to endure. I know I will be okay and that keeps me going. This site has been a tremendous help. Thank you for checking on me.
