Forrest, I don't know what book you read the following quote in, but man is that the truth!!!

A woman marries a man expecting he will change. And he does not.

A man marries a woman expecting she will not change. And she does.

Lost, you said.....
This has been a great personal growth period for me....a rude awakening and definitely my biggest life lesson yet! I hate and at the same time I am thankful for it because I will be a better person for it and my potential as a wife, if ever given the opportunity, is great.

I think we can all agree with that statement (of coure for us guys, replace wife with husband, lol)

I saw my W this morning as I do just about every weekday, just for a moment. My S got a letter home from school again this week, 2 weeks in a row now, last week for speaking out of turn in class, this one for not turning in a homework assignment,
and when he gets one, his punishment is to miss the 1st quarter of his football game, and he is the starting quarteback. I feel like a lot of it stems from his mother and I being apart. He's the one who has to bounce from home to home. He is typically, a smart, grounded, well mannered 10 year old. But I feel like this whole deal has crushed his world. Have any of you found your kids acting out or differently? If so, what have you done beside telling them everything will be okay? Tonight I am going to sit down with him and tell him I've lost my job, tell him it will all be okay, even though I'm not convinced myself.

Lost, we are being dealt problems that we feel we don't deserve, for you, the sale of your house, for me the loss of my job, and for all of us the end of our families as we know them. We need to lean on each other, no one can feel the pain unless they are in the midst of it, as we all are. Good luck, stay in touch.

GD, where are you? You mentioned going to a different thread.
But I do like hanging around this neck of the woods.
