Sunrise...thank you. I am separated from my husband at the moment, but I think you have just explained why he has shut me out for the last 5 1/2 years (he was OK for the first year we were together)! He has been hurt terribly by the people in his life who were suppose to love him the most, and I think that's why he's never let me in.

I honestly don't know if we can ever be together in a romantic relationship ever again, he has killed whatever trust there ever was, but I have remained his friend. No one else has ever stuck with him this long, and he is a wonderful father to my children, so I will do whatever I can to help him find his way.

Thanks again for your insight, it's so comforting to have wonderful people like you here willing to share their experiences with the rest of us!

P.S.
Happy Mother's Day!
