Hi Timberwood and
I'm sorry for what you're going through but glad you have found a community where many of us have been through similar experiences, and we can learn from each other.

I would like to join onelittleladybug in welcoming you to the bpdfamily.
I wish for you as much help and support as I have received.
How long were you and your wife together before you married?
Was there something that happened recently that brought you here?
I look forward to hearing more of your story.
