Thank You

I know this is not a question and I hope this is acceptable and a proper place to put this post. This is how I feel and I felt like I needed to say this.

I want to say thank you to all the PA's that have responded to our questions. We are hurting, confused and angry. We are trying to find answers, insite and perspective. What you are doing for us is very brave. You are exposing you thoughts, feelings and experances all in the hopes of helping us.

All that said, I also think the SO's are very brave to try to find answers and work through this while helping their other half.

We have suffered an emotional trama and sometimes dont respond well. When someone is hurting we lash out. I feel that we all need to keep this in mind.

Peace and love to all

...and thank you for being so thoughtful in posting that. I think both side will and should genuinely appreciate that.

Hopefulwife,

What a nice gesture to post that. I would like to join in on the thanks, certainly not least to the p addicts here. Quite a few have taken time to answer questions, explain, encourage and support, both in forums and private messages. It makes a whole world of difference that all sides are represented here, and working together to reach the same goals.

Truly it is us who should be thanking you and all of the SOs. Not just for providing your PA a second (or third) chance, but for making significant contributions to the recovery process of all of us. As I posted in my journal, the SO posting on "how porn makes us feel" was a real eye opener, and one I thought should be required reading for all of us. Some things I have read on here have shaken me to the core, and by so doing helped lay the foundation for a better future. So thank you.

I also want to say thank-you to all of the PA's on TTF who have taken the time to read our questions, and have answered our emotional questions with thought and honesty. BRAVO !!

A licensed therapist could not provide the insight that these men have provided, in answering our emotionally charged and in my case " desperate " questions.

I appreciate the gesture and agree with 65Ford, It is us PA's that should thank the SO's for one; putting up with us, despite the pain; two, being brave enough to share that pain openly, honestly and thoughtfully; three, for asking the tough questions to really make the PA's think, confront and evaluate our recoveries. Your input, evaluations and insight are invauluable. Thank you.
