New Year, new thread, I wish it was a new story. Some days I think W is bipolar, but I think it's just playing along with what is convenient. Last night kind of sucked, today was pretty close to reasonable. Some days I feel quite positive, some days I just seem to be waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Had a great talk with one of my friends, as we were talking about Rs in the new year. He made quite a few good points and of course he complimented me on my fight to "do the right thing". Later that evening, another friend picked up on a few things and approached me about W and I's R. Of course, since he was a close friend, I did confirm there was problems. He questioned me about some details he had learned of, since I didn't deny them he knew he was on the mark. Didn't have to say much to him, I guess his sources were good and he knew me well enough to read me well. Need less to say, he was not pleased with W.

So will this new year be the beginning or the end? Time, I guess will tell. I'm hoping that W is starting to second guess her plan and really look at it from the kids and I's perspective. If she does go through with things, I think there will be quite a few people who will not look on this nicely. It is surprising (not really) how many people who have grown up in split homes are avid supporters of making it work. Some day I just want to say to W, "your family is so big on family, do you think they want you to break up yours?" "Why can't you give the kids what you had?"

Well, I hope all of you have a better New Year. Let's see what this forum accomplishes for us this year. Hopefully there will be some successful exits.
