Sorry about this, but I can't get through to your e-mail, Sarah.  Here's 
what I've been trying to send you, as per your request.

Not sure if this is what you were talking about, but it's all I could find.

The things that I want most - celestial kingdom with my husband and 
children - I cannot have.  These things are now out of my control.  When I 
did have the control - I made stupid choices.
I cannot kneel in prayer with my husband or even talk over the spiritual 
aspect of our lives.  I go to the temple alone, sit in church alone.  There 
are no father's blessings, no heart-to-heart talks with Dad about missions 
and  morality and marriage;  and no father-son campouts for my boys,  no Dad 
in the temple for his little girls' wedding.  No Priesthood guidance or 
protection in our house;  tension over things like - how to spend the 
Sabbath,  drinking beer in the house,  finances - paying tithing or not, 
................oh, man, the list is long.  Even though I am happily married 
and my husband and I are still very much in love after 33 years, we are 
definitely the exception to the rule and I would NOT do it all over again if 
I had the chance - especially considering what I cheated my children out of. 
I had no right to do that to them.  I never realized that my decision way 
back then would have such eternal and far reaching results for other people, 
not just me.
*sigh*
