clarification

I have such dedicated readers! Thank you all for your interest in my story and the time you take to reply.  Due to a comment and to the known new readers I have acquired, I felt I needed to add some clarification about my memoir. 
Ironically, I started my memoir as I originally intended it to be an anniversary gift to Josh as it was to be "our story" however, the more I began writing, the more my voice came out and this little project turned into the dream I now have: to hopefully one day have it published.  The more I have written, the more emotionally connected to it I have become.  As I have passed through many of the difficult trials I have read about, I often put tears and words to paper, finally giving voice to t he emotions I wanted someone, anyone to hear.  Basically, writing this memoir is nothing short of therapy for me.  As I go back to remember detail and put an image to the life I have lived, I relive the emotions I felt and to be honest in who I am and in my voice, I make sure and put down every mean thought, every hurt feeling, all the details as I relive my experiences so that I can put them in the past where they belong.  Seeing as where I am at in my memoir I know people are concerned about me and I value that so much, but the events and emotions I am writing about are now two years past and would like to reassure my readers that I have had my conclusion and I am happy despite the mood and tone of the chapters.  This project is to resolve left over emotions and to hopefully provide a chronicle for my children as to why I married and divorced their father. 
Please remember this as well: this story is only from my point of view, not from Josh's.  And like everything else, there are two sides to every story.  My intention is not to paint anyone badly, but to allow you the opportunity to live my life chapter by chapter until hopefully I can find a fitting conclusion and end this era of my life.  I love you all and still have the goal to try and get caught up (to present time) within the next two months, so you comments keep me encouraged to meet that goal. Hugs to you all!
