I got a nasty trigger while reading the general board(though apologies were made in the thread, the damage was still done) and think it might be time for me to take a little break. My morning sickness is ending and unfortunately it was a crutch to keep me from my bulimia. Now I am very tempted to start purging again and I don't want to do that, not for me or the baby. There have been a few times when reading something here has hit me harder than it should but I've been okay but today not so much.
This board has been very supportive and I got comfort reading all the help offered to each other. I felt a sense of empathy that I haven't felt anywhere else; not even the so-called Christian boards where I had been told that I wasn't offering enough as a wife or that my ex-husband's PA was his issues and I needed to let him do as he needed.
My current husband who is also a PA(but recovering great) has thought about joining and I'm going to encourage it. Me though, I think I need a break. Stress from possibly getting kicked out of my college program(which may not happen now, depending on my final score), my grandpa's failing health, and my husband's issue with finding another job is about to crush me and I need a healthy outlet. I'm thinking of taking a break from the internet altogether and just spending the extra time with my sketchbook.
Thanks you all. I've looked up to you and admire you much. I've learned a lot by being here and will probably return someday.

I hope I wasn't part of the trigger seeing how I had a convo today where i felt it had to be moved to the appropriate room. If I was, I wholeheartedly appologize.
Best wishes & I totally understand. My therapist keeps telling me to take a break... but this time, I can't. Not like I want to, at least.
I hope you feel better. I will be think of you & yours.
Best wishes, Mo

Yuck, what kind of crappy advice is THAT? Cheating is NOT just THEIR issues, it's yours as well. AND you didn't have to stay with him. Biblically you were free as a bird to leave, and I'm glad you did. This place CAN be VERY triggering. Especially when you read PA mumbo jumbo crap. I hope to see you again. If you want some real biblical advice, that's not all self righteous, legalistic, and downright abusive (as you seem to have received before), go to www.godswordtowomen.org God Bless, CD
