Hi FLTC, I just wanted to say that you did the good thing to send your D16 to a private school. Public school at 16 is a difficult time already. It sounds like you have made a lot of rational and good decisions. Just wanted to add that my parents separated when I was 16, I am also a "military brat" so we were use to Dad being away on duty. We are still very close but back then I was really just into my friends. I was like, "OK see ya later Dad!" I was mad at my mom, too, but I got over it and thankfully they are really good friends now. Unfortunatley, even in my 30's I wish for my parents to get back together. Kids always want that, but now that they are doting grandparents, can't they be together? Keep up your correspondance. It sounds important. Your W sounds like she is making bad choices due to stress.
