This is just a shout out to the hardworking admins, mods and guides who give up their time to make this website a safe space for us all to be, to talk, and to heal. Those who run this site put up with alot of ridiculous crap in order to make sure that there is a protected place here for all parties -- BSs, WSs and APs alike-- to let go of garbage we carry, without fear of being slammed (gentle, corrective 2x4s notwithstanding

). That is not the case on every infidelity website.

I was realizing this morning what "safe haven" SI is for me, and want to make my gratitude public. So Deeply Scared, Meta, MangledHeart, authenticnow, jo2love, wifehad5, Jrazz, LosferWords, Moo and nowiknow23, thanks for being our SI angels.

Thank you krsplat and deena

Think of the haters in your life as sandpaper; they’ll scratch you up time and time again but in the end you’re polished, smooth, and spotless..while they end up useless

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

This really is a soul- and sanity-saving site. Not to be too alliterative about it

I am grateful for it every day.

I'm always amazed at the loving quality of SI.

I've seen some other infidelity recovery sites, and the quality of the forums doesn't come close to SI. I can't believe their members are any better or worse than SI members are. The big difference between SI and the other sites, IMO, is the moderation and guidance.

DS and MH set SI up based on loving values and guidelines, and 'the staff' uses them to bring out the best in almost all of us.

Thanks, guys.

I'll quintuple that!

Imagine a ship trying to set sail while towing an anchor. Cutting free is not a gift to the anchor. You must release that burden, not because the anchor is worthy, but because the ship is.
