Hi Wishing_For_Hope! Everyone's responses here have been wonderful! You are on the right track.....just don't give up! Don't be afraid of repentance, and don't be afraid to talk to your Bishop. Growing up in the church we can often associate repentance with such a negative stigma, but repentance is so AMAZING! The Atonement is so very real! Trust me, with time the Atonement will bring you the peace and healing you seek! Don’t give up!

My wife bought me an iTouch last Christmas, and I completely love it. I was adament on NOT getting anything "i" or from apple because they are so gosh darn expensive, and there are many alternatives out there. All I can say is I'm glad she did......it has so many features BESIDES being able to listen to music! I don't watch much TV, but found I could download the evening news and watching on my commute to work the next morning! It also functioned as an organizer, calendar, and has many applications geared toward the church. One app, called iWard, allows you do view the contact info of everyone in your ward, regardless if you have internet or not! It came in so handy in my calling when going out on visits and mapping where people lived! All I can say is you won't go wrong with an iTouch! :)

Hey ldssweetpea29, I know that your heart must be aching so much right now! I've found that there are many people here who can provide a great source of strength and support. I sympathize with you and hope my comments can help :) First thing, know that YOU are a daughter of our Heavenly Father who loves you so very much! There are things that can be improved in every marraige, but what your husband did was a choice of his own, so don't blame yourself at all!!! Selfishness is at the heart of your husbands actions. You are so precious in the sight of our HF! Your husband is loved just as much by Him! My wife and I have come to learn that the true healing we need comes from the the Atonement of our Savior. It is powerful, and it is so very real. Turn your heart completely to the Savior. Also, find a trusted relative or friend with whom you can feel comfortable talking to. I know it can be a very sensitive and private matter, but your husband must understand that you need to confide in someone else for strength and support. Also, are you working with your Bishop? Has your husband asked for your forgivenss, and are you both willing to work together for an eternal marraige? You don't necessarily have to answer these here, but a Bishop and LDS Family services can be of immense help and support at a time like this. My wife and I have began to improve our communication and showing love for one another, learning to rebuild what has been destroyed with the help of our Bishop and LDS Family services. It is by far the hardest thing we've ever had to do, but to me it is worth every step of the way. My heart and prayers go out to you. You are not alone in this!

I grew up in that area my entire childhood, and it was an excellent place to grow up! The education system is what you make of it anywhere you go, so just help your son learn and stay on top of school and he will be fine :) The work opportunities aren't as great as they might be in a big city, but it is a good place to live because there are many others there who share your beliefs and values. I read some of your previous posts and have been going through similar difficulties myself......hope things are going alright and that Heavely Father is directing you to where you need to be :)
