Thanks Windy.

Praying for all involved.

Thank you to everyone for their kind messages. I will at the moment not be sharing my story on here for the public to see. If you would like to PM me or email me I will share how this all unfolded with you. If you email me please include your ID from this site so I know it's a websleuther.

Also, I have not taken any sites down except for Yuwie which I hadn't been on that long. MySpace I just changed to my name.

We're all here for you praying for you. You have many, many wonderful people willing to do whatever they can for you. Take care of yourself for a while.

I am so sorry, deskside.

When you feel like you can, it might be helpful if you could post the questions you are struggling with.

I've had my share of embarassment and betrayal in my own life. I personally prefer to be straightforward in acknowledging what happened. When I tried to keep it all inside it just ate me up. I'm sure that for each person there may be a different way cope.

You have shared so much of yourself in your search for your beloved husband. I pray that you will find comfort and healing. God is always available, even when we are angry and hurt.

Respectfully,
Susan

A suggestion was made that I should do a Yahoo group that way you all will be free to discuss this case and I won't have to worry about who is viewing it as I will have it set to members only. This case is getting in to too many personal and legal issues now so it would be better that the public is not viewing it. I will setup the Yahoo group tomorrow.

I find that I don't post often, however i am inspired by all of the fabulous people here on Websleuths. I am a mom of 4 plus foster children. One extra right now.

The compassionate side of me has watched this thread over the months. My heart has ached for you and I have seen this folks rally around you to help you find answers. I am happy that you have answers and I wish I could shoulder some of your pain right now. I cried when I read your update. Please know that many of us are sending up prayers and positive thoughts for you Maureen. I applaud you for your courage to post all of this here, your strength and dedication which resulted in finding Jon, and your heart that is full of love for your family.

Maureen,

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

deskside~

I just your thread(s) for the first time and I am so sorry this happened to you.,, but relieved that you don't have to wait and wonder anymore.
It's unbelievable... what you & your family had to go through. I wish LE had taken you more seriously and tried harder so that you all wouldn't have had to suffer so much. Hopefully you will get more answers and understand it all better someday, and you can get back to enjoying your golden years with your beautiful kids & grandkids.... (and puppy!)

I have not posted in awhile because I am going through a move and marital problems, but I wanted to let you know I am thinking about you.

Maureen, I'm glad you got some answers, he's alive, the rest can be worked out. Take some time for YOU now, you too are a different person than before, you are allowed to think of yourself first now.

<<you too are a different person than before, you are allowed to think of yourself first now>>

i agree with what CD said!! you should go treat yourself... take a trip, go to a spa.. do something enjoyable to lift your spirits and laugh.. be selfish for a while.

Lady_Ford · #15 01-17-2008, 08:41 PM

WOW, I can't think of anything else to say. I can't even begin to imagine the emotional rollercoasster your family is feeling right now. You have proven you are a strong woman, just remember that, you can handle anything!!

kaelee2 · #16 01-18-2008, 09:24 AM

Maureen:

I am so happy for you that you now have some answers. I am so sorry this has happened to you. I have kept you in my prayers ever since we started communicating. Now is the time for your to put yourself first.

eachandevery · #17 01-28-2008, 01:10 AM

Maureen, I just wanted to let you know that I've been following your case for some time, now, and I am very happy that you've found some answers. You are one tough cookie; I admire your persistence and I'm so glad that all of your hard work has paid off. I joined Websleuths just so I could (finally) comment on your case. I'm curious as to what happened, but I respect your privacy and hope that you are taking care of yourself and enjoying time with your new puppy.

sassy_texasbelle2 · #18 01-28-2008, 01:34 AM

I have followed the case since you first started posting. I am so happy for you that he is alive, yet my heart breaks for you for the hell you have been through 2+ years. God Bless, and just know we are all thinking of you and keeping you and your family in our prayers.

BethInAK · #19 01-30-2008, 12:21 AM

Wow.
I'm absolutely struck dumb.

Maureen, I just want to say that your loyalty and dogged belief in jon are such admirable qualities. i know that this must be a terrible time for you and i'm feeling kind of angry (even though I don't know the full story yet). I DO know that if anything should ever happen to me that i hope and pray that my spouse would believe in me the way you have. you are a special person.

Sending you positive thoughts and healing.

Bobbisangel · #20 02-02-2008, 07:13 AM

Trying to figue out what happened. The other threads disappeared before I had the chance to read them. Where was he found and was he alright? Just reading what is written her isn't making a lot of sense.

abstr · #21 02-09-2008, 02:56 PM

I'd like to know more also. Read every post on this case and would like to know more. I hope one day Maureen will feel more comfortable with sharing with us. If not, then we need to accept that and understand. I wish her the very best....and my prayers remain with her and her family.

deskside · #22 02-09-2008, 06:01 PM

abstr,

I'm so sorry that I'm leaving you hanging. This thread has been taken to a private forum so that we can continue to discuss this case at ease without the wrong people looking at my thought process right now. People that have been invited into the forum are those that I know or who have been posting on here for awhile. There have been a few "lurkers" I've allowed on the private site. They are people that have been members on here for sometime and/or have posted in other threads.

You are so new to this site that I have to fear (rightly or wrongly) you are a plant. If you can figure a way to convince me that you are not I'd be happy to invite you into the private forum.

I so hope you understand that I just have to be very careful right now. I have a family to protect and answers to find.

Maureen

From one military family to another... Bless your heart. You're a strong woman, and your family will get through this in time.

Deskside,

I'm sorry for the pain that you and your family have been through and are probably still going through. Please do not feel like you owe anyone an explanation for no longer sharing your pain or your journey. I hope that you and your family can heal from this. I just wanted to say that I admire you.
