We feel the pain of your friend and you. The terrible pain that no body wants or asks for. Our son went thru this last year. A divorce he didn't want, he didn't ask for, he is still trying to recover from. You are so right in the fact that it affects the whole family. It's a very dark and painful time for everyone. <br />I posted a little bit of our pain, you can read it here if you like. http://irwdanataft.blogspot.com/2010/07/life.html<br />Many many prayers are needed and yet a little of the pain remains. Praying for your friend.IRW Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10781944540194312834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5283609455099320000.post-78646404915639591882011-02-02T15:59:14.127-06:002011-02-02T15:59:14.127-06:00Good post--never stop working at it.Good post--never stop working at it.Shonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04310547848215492736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5283609455099320000.post-11931218930143906712011-02-02T11:47:20.932-06:002011-02-02T11:47:20.932-06:00I love the way you said it in this post.

We've been through some tough things and come out the other side stronger, I think. But some couples break in those stretched moments. I don't know what makes people decide to throw in the towel instead of fight for their marriage. And I hope I never know. I love my man so much!Sissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05831098254614285216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5283609455099320000.post-24688930919886548302011-02-02T11:05:42.323-06:002011-02-02T11:05:42.323-06:00Absolutely wonderful post Melissa.

Satan tried, oh how he tried. We hung on by our fingernails. But we hung on and we both thank God today that we did because it's only by His grace that we were able to make it. We adore each other but there are days I don't like him and there are days he doesn't like me. We just wait through those days and the adoring days come back every time. blessings, marleneStitchinByTheLakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501479854150315011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5283609455099320000.post-49295624017583624602011-02-02T08:39:26.457-06:002011-02-02T08:39:26.457-06:00Preach it, Sista!
