Phoenix, I read this when you posted and it just didn't work for me to respond then, but a few things here still don't feel right even after a few days have passed and after the week I have had I won't be very good to sugarcoat this.

So, Ks tend to be, "well what's the use, it won't be good enough".
That's a bad thing for kids to be living with, IMO they need to try to do their best and not just sit in a heap and whine about not being good enough. They'd have my boot up their butt, and my support to encourage them to live and learn and try.

How do you respond?

However what she came back with was not usually age appropriate, so I stopped that.
Ok dad, I'll just rebel in some other manner. How do I look in an EA/PA?

Daddy, I love you the most,
Out of the mouths of babes, ya just gotta love 'em!

Like yourself WCW, I do see some good responses sometimes, but I'm very tired of being treated like something that has been "settle for".
We all reach a limit, we all get tired and need a rest. Sometimes when I rejuvenate I feel a stronger resolve to hang on longer to what I think can still be made into a 'wonderful life with H'. Sometimes I go the other direction and get stronger about me being able to handle myself when H does decide to get gone for good. What that keeps telling me is that I shouldn't push myself in either direction if I am still swinging that hard. Are you still swinging hard? You seem discouraged since you went to those couples meetings, did you expect more than you got?
Live your life while you are still living. Riding the trail less traveled.
