Yep, Nikki, that was what I was trying to allude to. And I know that GD will make sure that the kids have whatever they need, when they need it. For them.
GD, has your W pulled the BS that the kids will be happier if she, the parent, is happy? She may think that your $$ will do that for her, but you and I both know that her unhappiness is much deeper than even she herself realizes right now. You'd just be throwing the money away.
I don't know which of us will end up with spouses strong enough to do the work required of themselves, personally and for the marriage. It is so completely up to them, and their own choices. I had a hard time letting H go, when his choices seem so wrong to me. But that is simply my opinion, my perception of the whole sitch. He has to be the one to live his life. And I can see that you are ready to let your W live hers.
So, now back to you and your life: any word on grad school? Any big plans in store for you and the kiddos?
