mk, does it really matter if it lasts with ow or not? not having it last doesn't mean they are coming back to us, after all. I think we all focus too much on whether their relationships will last in the long run...which only serves to take the focus off of us.
they have attacked our happiness and the happiness/security of our children. but you know what, we are strong, capable, intelligent women, who can find our own new path to happiness, and can help our children find theirs. its not what we wanted for ourselves or them, but we can find the lorelai in us that will allow for us to be great. we can look at our christophers with compassion and detachment, while moving forward on our own, or maybe, just maybe, with our lukes.
and, of course, our children will go to yale, find their passion, their own successes, while still being our children and firmly entrenched in our lives. lol.
