Smurf and Jack, Thanks for the comments. although I know anything is possible with someone in MLC, since my W was so horribly treated by her parents, she vowed that she would never abandon her kids. Me, yes, them never. If she were to really go off the deep end and walk away from them as well, she knows she would be leaving them the same legacy she had as a kid. I'm not saying it would never happen...it just seems highly unlikely given her past... But I get the point. Everything in her current life only serves to remind her about everything she "doesn't have" like her freedom. Thanks again for the rapid response. It is more helpful than you know. L7
