Laura,
It does get better. It may not seem like it now, but IT DOES GET BETTER. When I was going through it, I would often think about my kids and my wife. I have a lot of living to do. I never regretted going the most agressive route. Keep your attitude posistive. It definetely helps not only you, but those loved ones around you as well. We're all pulling for you.
