We all owe you a debt that could never be payed. As I sit here in the chaos of a home full of family I realize how far we have come. I wouldn't be here or sane today without this place. Peace be with all on SI! And especially MH and DS.

Merry Christmas DS and MH. Our lives will never be the same because of the love and sacrifice you have given here. Bless you both.
This is the hall of mirrors. Where you will face yourself. Buckle up.

I wish that I had thought to start this thread.
I can remember quite vividly the horrible, horrible beginning days when first learning that I was, unbelievably to me!, a BS. I somehow stumbled upon this site. I could not even sign on, my hands were shaking so hard.
But I did log in, and here I found the compassion and expertise I needed to put one foot in front of the other. What you have given back out of your own pain is so appreciated. By me, and all of us. Thank you so much for such a gift!

I truly do thank God that I found this place. And, while I don't wish being here on anyone, I also thank God for all of you here with me.

I need to add my thanks, too. I have lots of IRL friends (some from SI) and family, but my huge SI family is always there for me, ready to listen and help like none other.
Thank you, DS and MH for that.
Merry Christmas and God Bless Us, EVERY ONE!!

MH & DS,
You guys have helped us all as individuals in unquantifiable amounts. If it were not for this site I would be in an awful place still, no doubt.
I could list a million different ways that you have helped me personally. But, the most important way that you've helped me is that in the most horrible, alienating, hopeless time of my life (that will probably span to some extent till the day I die) you have shown me that I am not alone. You have created a place for all of us to find each other and work through this together.
The two of you have truly made the world a better place. Thank you and Happy Holidays.
So long, and thanks for all the fish!

I am very grateful to have found this site. I have come to learn that when infidelity happens, a lot of people who you thought were your friends, judge you, leave your life etc. I am thankful we don't judge here.

4 years ago Today I spent the worst Christmas of my life. 2 weeks later D Day came Along and a couple of days later I stumbled across SI.
Before confronting I came here and read and read. I sought advice and learnt from the old hands how to get my ducks in a row. Thanks to them I "aced" the confrontation and he left that night. THANK YOU
As the divorce dragged on I received support and advice (better than any my lawyer ever gave) on negotiating a great final agreement. THANK YOU
Along the way I have learnt so very much about relationships.
I dated too soon and regretted not listening to folk here. THANK YOU
And I remember clearly reading many of The wise words and advice. These helped me work out for the first time in my life what a healthy relationship should be like and that settling for anything less was a major mistake. Today I have been dating the kindest, most thoughtful, most respectful man for nearly a year and I love him very much. SI helped me to learn how to accept the love of a good man and how to look for red flags. THANK YOU
My mum died when I was a teenager and in many ways the advice of old timers here was like a mother's advice to her daughter. I will be forever grateful to SI and all those who works hard to make it this wonderful place.
Every week I talk to my 2 young sons about life and relationships explaining to them the things I have learnt here. Lessons I learnt the hard way. I want them to be emotionally intelligent. By passing on what I have learned over the last 4 years ... The ripple effect of SI will carry on impacting people and relationship for decades to come. THANK YOU
This site and it's impact on lives is priceless....THANK YOU
I wish you both a joyful and peaceful Christmas.
