How to Prevent Divorce
I really liked this post, but I also want to add something.
Don't just "hold your nose" and wait. To get good curdles to eat with peaches you can't just ignore the milk, you can't just leave it out, right? (I know nothing about curd or cheese making... just guessing here) I'm sure you still have to put some kind of effort in, even though for the moment you can't enjoy it at all... So be sure to "hold your nose" but also "take care of the curds and cheese" It might be difficult and tiring to put effort into something you won't be able to enjoy for who knows how long, but I think it is worth it...
That is my story, my milk is sour, it soured pretty quick after I got it, actually. Some might say (and a few actually have said) that the milk was bad to begin with. I'm fighting the desire to throw it out. Please pray for me and my wife. She has given up. I'm close. Three small kids are so hard to raise alone, and that might be the main reason we are still together today. Please pray for us.
If you haven't already, try out some Al-Anon meetings. Those are the best places I've found for turning sour milk into cheese (and there is no cost if you cannot afford it - most people chip in $1 or less a meeting). Online meetings are available as well, but physical ones are better.
My husband and I were both from very abusive backgrounds. His physical, mental and emotional from a psychiatrist alcoholic father; me sexual and emotional from various family members.
I started going to Al-Anon meetings early on in our relationship when our daughters were young. I slowly learned how to love unconditionally, while at the same time take care of my own well being. Our children are now in their 20s and much healthier than either me or my husband at that age. They have chosen healthier partners as well.
