craig - good points to gypsy.

The 180's do cause our WAS to question themselves, all the opinions they've formed over the years about who we are and how we react. But keep in mind they have to be real and sincere.

I wish I could suggest something for the kids ... but all I can come up with is that you have to live your life based on the way God wants us to live - and He gave us Christ as an example. To that end - love your W or H and kids with all your heart. Help them understand that the best way to work out conflicts is to talk it out - but sometimes, people need to solve things separately, on their own, before they can solve things together. And it's ok. There may come a point where mom and dad have to spend some time apart. But you will continue to do everything in your power and pray to God to keep the family together.
