Thanks, Geoff, I appreciate the encouragement. I don't feel anywhere near having done the right thing. I was bashful then. Now I would halt the church service or the funeral and set things straight. I was bullied...terribly...through middle school

allalone- I am a survivor of sexual assault and I do care. I am going to agree with what farmer boy said about the ongoing affair. It might be easier if it had been just random acts, but add the element of emotion... well, its hard. My spouse also
