Thanks, wii. You're right. I'm emotionally exhausted...... The holidays are tough, but would be worse if I was home. I would be expected to buy a tree and decorate it with my kids in the house I used to live in "for the kids sake". That literally ripped my heart out last year. I can't even look at pictures of my kids when they were younger. Thats for MY sake and emotional survival. (If we were looking for the kids sake here, W. would not amputate the fatehr from the house, so why should I feel guilty?)


There is NO sign of any progress. No emails, nothing. Heard from my D1 that she was in the top 3% of all kids who took the PSATs nationwide. Not an email from W even to give me this good news.

Your CB story sounds a little like what's going on with me right now. I have a woman form work who occassionally emails me, and has made it not secret to a mutual friend that she is interested in me. She is bright, hard-working, successful, and right now very appealing, but I have not crossed any line. I receive a number of meials from women I work with, and I write them all back, and she is no different.
