I just did a search for you and was so glad to find this post. I have thought about you often and have lead many men to your old posts. Oh, BTW, I am the former Iluv2teach.
I am not hanging out on the MLC site because it turns out that H is a textbook case. S32 is recovering from testicular cancer a fight that was diagnosed in October and hopefully will be over soon. S20 will be a junior in college in the fall and S17 will be a senior in high school. H is still knee-deep in MLC and R with OW (former half of one of our couple friends and a gal that H graduated with dated a couple of time in high school) Our final judgment on D was April 11, but my attorney didn't get the final papers until Mid-May and I still have yet to sign them so our D is not final yet but is just a formality. I am, however, still standing for my marriage as we didn't give out vows to the judge who granted our divorce we recited them in front of God.
I am so happy that you are doing well in your marriage. I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your father and the close call with our son.
You deserve the happiness you have received, you worked hard on you to get where you are.
Everything happens for a reason, maybe Dad needs to find that it isn't better out there, he needs to realize how good he had it here. Maybe he will find God and that is the most important thing when he finds Him he will know he is supposed to come home.
