Dear RCR,
I want to say THANK YOU.
I believe God is working through you.
I just wanted you to know that I appreciate all that you do. It makes a real difference in people's lives.

RCR,
I am not religious, but am spiritual and am ever so grateful to the existence of this site. I would be soon to be D without it. Don´t know what folks did before the existence of internet forums like this. RCR, you have lessened the emotional pain in the universe for so many people that you will never meet.
From the bottom of my heart,
Thank You,
FTT

Yes, THANK YOU!!!
Right now this forum is my lighthouse. I don't think I would have made it through the last few months without this site and the knowledge it has brought me.
I would have really believed this was all my fault and been lost as to what I did wrong.
What a Blessing!
-
RCR me too - this site gave me hope in my darkest moment and continues to do so as I know it does for so many, you are testament to someone who followed their bliss and in doing so gave so much to others
thank you

It is an answered prayer. A place to go for support at all hours. Important at first when you have trouble sleeping. Or when something happens and you need input right away.
We've made lifetime cyber friends here. Relationships we would not have been able to have any other way.

This is crazy because I was thinking how I wanted to extend my appreciation to RCR. This site appeals to me for so many reasons but mostly I think it really showcases and satisifies the intellectual side of MLC. RCR you are incredibly knowledgable and share that knowledge in a way that is approachable. As an educator I can appreciate that. I also appreciate your and HB's "tell it like it is stance". You each have your own style but it's clear that YOU don't sugarcoat it and for something like this you can't. LBS are dealing with one of the most traumatizing experiences one can face and it's easy to lose site and get caught up in the crazy. You do a good job of talking many down from the crazy tree but in a way that is intelligent. Anyway this is what I appreciate because it appeals to my intellectual side and I believe it's what this site does well. I mean is there really a place where you can get all the information about the "WHOLE of MLC". I would imagine not. THank you RCR...really.....really....really

I want to add my thanks, it has been a godsend to me to have the knowledge but also the warmth and care that you put into your words.
It has helped me understand the madness, but more importantly helped me to look at myself and not be frightened of that experience as it includes positives too.
Thanks RCR and I hope the new year brings you peace, joy and new beginnings.

:)RCR,
I need to tell you also that you have saved myself and my immediate family, as well as extended family and friends much grief! having just found out days before Christmas that my H had been lying about an OW, if it had not been for me already having read the reasons....I very much need the reasons....I do not know what could have happened to myself and my family. After a few days of intense grief, I went back and read the info. about MLC and OW`s and it gave me comfort and Hope. I have a strong Christian faith, and I am sure God is using you to bring hope to so many, as well as healing! May God Bless you and your H in the most profound ways!
Thank you and God Bless!
Thank you so much for your article on Christmas Day even!

I just wanted to add my thanks too RCR. Without this wonderful formum, I think I would have seriously lost my mind. words can't express how comforting all the information you have provided to all of us in this unfortunate situation has been to me. there are few angels in the world.... YOU ARE ONE OF THEM.
GOD bless you!

You all are so sweet. Me an Angel--Sweetheart would find tht so funny!
But let's not forget the many-eyed and always watchful OldPilot. He reads all, he sees all...maybe he even has a list he checks twice... And a bunch of MLCer's probably got coal in their stockings.
And HeartsBlessing. She brings us her inspiration, her intution, her experience and her love.
Thank you to all of you.

Well thanks RCR. I would also mention Stayed.
And all the other posters on this board.
There are lots of posts to read these days and I do try to keep up as best I can but you all are doing a great job supporting one another it really has made my "job" :) much easier..
:) :) :)

I am so very thankful for this forum. It is an addiction all its own. I find myself waiting for a moment to break away and find out what all of our "warriors" are up to.
This forum has given me such peace in a senseless situation. I am thankful to all of you....every day!
-
i can only echo what everyone has perfectly said here: Thank You, Rollercoasterider!
all the very best to you and yours in 2011!

And a bunch of MLCer's probably got coal in their stockings.
This made me laugh.
My girls insisted on hanging H's stocking next to ours even though he is not here and I had to stop them several times while shopping for other gifts to not get fake "Santa's Coal" for his stocking. At least they were opting for fake.
-
I only barely stopped myself from wrapping a bag of charcoal up for my H. Pre MLC he would have laughed, but I just didn't think he would find the humor in it this year.
:)
I also want to add my thanks to RCR. The articles were one of the first things I found that and have been a huge help through all of this.
-
I would like to concur with everthing that has been said...thanks RCR,HB,OP and stayed :)

I had wanted to start my own thread about thanking you folks, until I found this old one.
Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you for the website and for the forum.
I do not know where I would go if I couldn't come here and get help through what I find are very dark days in my life. I can remember the first few months after BD, feeling like there's no sense in this and no hope, and I'm alone; what in the world am I going to do?
Oh sure there are lots of resources out there for marital problems, but that is like giving somebody a globe when they need a road map. I needed specific answers to the chaos taking my world over. I am so very grateful for the work that's put into running this site!

Good job bringing up all these old threads, I hope you are getting good info from them.
Keep up the good work.

Yes, thank you RCR, Limitless, OP and everyone else on here. Who knew there would be a site for this. I like everyone else on here were abandoned and we didn't know what to do, which way to turn. I am so thankful I found this site. All the info on here answered my questions so that I was able to understand what had just happened to me and what was happening to my H. When H abandoned me, several friends and some family members said he was having a MLC. I just thought that meant getting a younger girlfriend and a sports car or Harley. Wow, did I get an awakening about MLC. I have learned so much from this site, grown as a person although I still have a ways to go. It's still not easy. I don't know if it ever will be for me. But I know what I have to do for myself.....and thats GAL. I thought I had a life but now realize I was to attached to my H. It's a slow process but it's something we must do to survive. Again, thank you all for your kindness and support in a time of my life that I needed it more than any other.

I am so glad too that W2HFE brought this thread up to the present, as I also would like to extend my thanks to RCR and all who help to mentor, run th site , read and reply to posts. It has been a lifesaver for me too. Thank you all so much. xxxx
-
I agree! Thank you RCR, HB and Stayed especially for all your help!
-
Thanks to EVERYONE on this site. The love, the info, the 2x4's, all are greatly appreciated and I hope we can all pay this forward as well as have happy reunions in the future, where we are whole and at peace (with our without our WAS's).
Keep the faith everyone, we all came here by the grace of God, and with his help, we will all do the Mary Tyler Moore "hat throw"! (We're gonna make it after all....)

I've said this before, but I'll say it again. This wonderful place that I stumbled upon in tears almost a year ago, has been a true Godsend! Things and people come in to your life for a reason... RCR, you've created something wonderful here. You should be very proud and satisfied that you are helping so many people. And of course all of the others on this board, the mentors, the posters, even the lurkers ( you know who you are.. LOL and you'll finally feel safe enough to come out and post) have created a wonderful community of people who are living day to day the best they can.
I can't say thank you enough!!
-
I also am so extremely grateful for this board, for the articles, and for all of the wonderful supportive people who post here. As I mentioned before, I was lurking on this board for many months before finally feeling strong enough to be able to post myself. Just being able to come here every day and read got me through those horrible days, weeks and months after BD, and helped me in so many ways. I hope to be able to pay it forward someday in some small measure.

Thank you RCR. Without you and this forum, by now I would have gone crazy. No one would have believed me if I told them the story of my once faithful h and our marriage.
Kids, jobs, travel, taking care of sick parents. Throw in a mlc and life becomes turned upside down (and now you wondered how I could walk on the ceiling - ha!). Never thought I would be asked to keep myself and the children together but after the last year, I expect I can almost weather anything. As long as my children are good, I am good. I know they love their father, but they like me are weary and wary as well.
Now when I can and it's appropriate I validate to others that mlc exists and it's not about toupees, red sportcars. Unfortunately the impact can be huge, financially draining and LONG....hang in there everyone to the best of your ability. Blessings to RCR, HB, Stayed and everyone else.
