Re Scout mom, well....that makes more sense and makes me like that mom a bit more. But geesh, if anything your D6 needs friends and normal kid stuff, like having a friend over. \:\( To keep up the hijack, let me say mk: Your H misses you. They aren't allowed to talk about it. How could he keep justifying what he's doing if he acknowledges his real feelings?

neph, mk has it right, my H totally justifies his A because our marriage was in such 'trouble', all of it being my fault. I think you have lots of hope too. We can't speed up time or change what our spouses do, but we can control what we do, and become even better parents, the rock.
