Thanks. I'm sure you are right. I've already had a few I had to tell to back off until I was ready, which will be a while - at least until next year. I know they say give it two years, and it might take that long, but I've been in this mess for three, so some of the healing has already begun.

Generous to a fault: hmmm, she sure doesn't see it that way. Even after covering all kids expenses, plus $400 a month, plus an addl $16K next year for the last year of private school, she is now asking for part of my bonus, and she wants a clause inserted that if she loses her job that I'm responsible for up to a year of her mortgage - not a loan, I'm just supposed to pay it!!! I told her I don't ever see an end to her demands, so I am stopping giving her any more now.

This will just never end.
