Just wanted to drop by and echo everyone else's comments, RW. I haven't been able to read every page of your sitch, but from here and the alt know enough. I think you're holding your head high and doing the best you can, and I'm glad that you've gotten some closure from talking with H. Most don't get that.
I agree with the comment about teens knowing stuff is going on- I did, for years. Which is sad from a parent's point of view, but if there's been open conflict (don't know in your sitch), parts of this could come as a relief. No matter what, they have your love, you to pull them through this and a fine example of a resiliant woman who does things with class.
I wish you luck over the coming days and will be following along.
omg. KUDOS! You will get through this. We;re all here for you and praise you for taking care of yourself. Please keep us updated on how the process unfolds. The kids will be ok, and so will you.
I am so sorry you have to do all of this yucky stuff. You made it over this hurdle. Rest, and be kind to yourself.

When the men on the chessboard Get up and tell you where to go; And you've just had some kind of mushroom And your mind is moving slow; Go ask Alice... I think she'll know.
