alamogirl: it is exceedingly more difficult when you feel the pain that your children are suffering..mine are doing quite well all things considered...my s16 lives with me full time(his choice) and my s8 is 50/50 with her....she is in la-la land regarding the impact on the kids but i have been a rock in support of them and they will always be my main focus...ironically thats one of the reasons she cited for our drifting apart.....problem is she told me all the time how happy she was...until she dropped the bomb that is.....im doing better all the time and me and my boys had a fantastic time in cooperstown this weekend ...it was unforgettable for all of us...she called many times over the weekend and sounded a little jealous of our great fun...the fun we all used to have together...oh well.....you choose things ...you lose things.....maybe she will see that someday....god bless you...you sound great.....BT
