I originally did that when we were talking seperation...and I think your right, it wasn't a good idea. I guess in a way I wanted my kids to know this was not my choice. I guess it's selfish but I want my kids to know that I would not do anything to tear our family apart or hurt them. I guess in a way it's a blame game but at the time I didn't really understand MLC (not that I do all that well now.) I really felt at the time...and still do somewhat, that people still have to be responsible for what they do, whether they are losing it or not. And my wife made a choice to give up on us, our family, and our kids--maybe I'm just in a negative mood today. I had to go to my company Christmas party by myself last night and try to explain that my wife wasn't feeling well to the one's that don't know my sitch. I really missed her and the rum n cokes didn't help!!
