Thank you all for such a warm welcome! You have all made me feel so much better...that and the fact that I just spent the last hour with my T, who basically said what you all have said. (I'm thinking my "friend" timed this when she knew I had an appt w/ my T this afternoon).

Anyway, to further introduce myself...I am 41 years old, am the proud mother of a 10 year old boy and 7 year old girl and as I said, my husband and I have been married for 14 years. I have a complicated history - sexual abuse as a child, postpartum depression after the birth of both my children and a problem w/ anxiety/panic attacks (since I was in my late teens). As I think I mentioned in one of these posts, I have been in therapy, on and off, since I was 24 but for the last 10 or so years with my current T (not continuous though). So then last month I found out about my husband's emotional affair w/ someone at his church (they both deny that it went further than "making out" but who knows). He and I are both in therapy alone and then together and he swears he'll do anything to make our marriage better...he does not want a divorce. (I thought I did when I first found out but have since calmed down enough to be at least willing to work on things).

Sorry for the long-windedness....I think I have found a great group and look forward to a long relationship. Thank you again for your support!
