I went to jail and then rehab and no longer drink. I lost my career as a teacher but I am getting my daughter back and I have a new man who absolutely ADORES me and doesn't drink. I almost went to jail for ten years, I camethat close to not being here. Now next Wednesday at 9 am I will become free to marry this man who has loved me for two years. We met while and during my stint in jail and fell in love through letters. We never even laid eyes upon each other until 5 months after writing. He turned out to be handsome and he thinks I am beautiful. I just got the phone call telling me to be in court next Weds. What do you think? Do all things come full circle? Is God good or what?

Sure, God is awesome but at the same time we as people must not take for granted what we receive. For as quickly as it comes to us it can be taken away. Never forget that. Now that things seem to be on track for you remember to take it one day at a time. Good luck and congratulations on having your daughter back in your life (that is a blessing all on its own)

I don't think there is any protocol for this. When the time is right to bring it up, then it's the right time. Unless you are in the act of or have just finished making love, you have to go with what you're feeling. It doesn't sound like what you and your wife had was a lovemaking session, though. It sounds more like she wanted "servicing" and you were available and obliged. Sorry to be so blunt, but from everything you describe, it just doesn't sound like there is any tenderness or real caring there. At any rate, you two had sex on Wednesday so there has been enough time passed since then, and your wife initiated it, not you. I don't think she's the type of woman who is going to feel "used" and taken advantage of. You know her better than anyone on here, so do what you think is proper and right for you. If you want to try to work it out with her, tell her so. You can give her some options to ponder. Maybe you'll finally know what she's really thinking and how much she truly cares. The question is, what do you really want and how much do you truly care about her as a wife and a person? Do you think there may still be any hope for the two of you and can you forgive her cheating, if she was sorry for it? You really have sounded pretty miserable these past weeks and I hope you find the right answer soon. This kind of situation is never easy, no matter what.

You are SO blessed! Don't blow it. You have been given a wonderful second chance to have a beautiful, complete life.
It is a bit of a roller-coaster getting divorced at the same time as getting your daughter back, but you will take it all in stride and be successful and happy in your new relationship.
You CAN do it. Always remember that you are much stronger than you think! When you are down, remember your faith, and the love you have for your daughter.
God is Awesome, your life has come full circle, and perfect.
Good luck all around!

Good for you. I love to hear stories like yours. If you work at something hard enough, things will fall into place. We all have had struggles in our lives, and it sounds like you had some big issues. You did not throw in the towel! Sounds like you have become a better person through your hardships. Stay sober! Have fun with your child. Get married and put all that bad stuff behind you.

Yes God is good. Eventually all things do come back around. Are you sure you should get married right now though? Maybe some time for you and your daughter to reconnect first then introduce the new man and go from there???

God is Awesome. Good for you. Now for the downer part of the advise - don't rush into marrying this man or co-habitating. You & your daughter need some time. She needs to know she is your first priority for a while. If you already co-habitate it's going to be hard, but make absolutely sure you make just Mom & Me time. It's great to be in love & loved, but the children have to come first.

God is great but he only provides the tools and it is up to us what we do with them. The fact that you are getting your daughter back tells me that perhaps your ex husband may have perhaps had something to do with the reason you drank since he must have his problems or he would be possibly getting your daughter.instead of you because of the jail time. I am glad that everything is going well for you!!

Many things which at first strike us with doubt, and pehaps considered of liitle practicality and logic, may have a wat to turn to our benefit.
I do not know how this happens, but it DOES!!!
It has happened to me!
Now I consider that everything that happens falls into the realm of possibility!!!
I offer you, GOOD LUCK and the capacity, ability in trusting certain things that usually you'd have doubt about!
Truly!

By the way, in Spanish we have this saying : No hay mal, que por bien no viene.
Meaning : there is nothing bad, which for a good cause, does not come!
