Agreed, interestingly enough, I forgot to take her work bag out to the car this morning and she complained that she was now used to that, so the dishes issue might not be such a bad idea.
I was moaning last night, but feel more positive today. Agreed that there are no certainties in life, but I know that I will fight for her and you are right, I will expend all my energies on keeping the family together and my W with me.
I'm using this site to off-load all my frustration so that they are not shown to W (used to do that), which is part of my 180. Takes time to change (mentally), so somewhere where I can moan is a godsend.
