Mark, wasn't going to respond since you called me 'chatty' on my thread, but you know I can't stay away from you. Stinker.
I have to say that by your example, I have learned a lot. I have learned to steer clear of a lot of the pain, by protecting myself and focusing on the kids. But I hate that you have traveled this painful journey to get to your peaceful place. I am sorry about that. I am sorry your W doesn't see what she is giving up, I am sorry for any teeny amount of pain your kids might feel. But know this, you gave it your all, even more, your kids love and trust you, and you will be snatched up in an instant once you are ready.
