(((Grace))) I thought maybe your H would avoid this too...especially for your D's sake...I am sorry. But I know that if your D's are anything like their mom, they will find their strength and learn from this change in their lives.
And this is the world asking you now to show what you are made of. Now you will show why you are worthy to have your beautiful daughters. You will be the mother they need in this time of difficulty. I know you will.
In many years, regardless what happens, they will look back on this time and smile, thankful to have had you protecting them, showing them the way, loving them. Know that. They will marvel at the strength you showed. And the memory of it will inspire them to be the best they can be.
Why do I know this so surely?
This is the way I think of my mom, about the time she went through it with my dad.

The mainsail is up and the sun is trying to break through the clouds.
I'm having a hard time today b/c I'm angry. H decided to tell our D's about his apt yesterday without me there. I haven't addressed it with him yet. I went for a long walk this morning and was fortunate enough to get in 5 miles before it stared raining hard again. I need some way to burn this energy off. Perhaps some weight lifting and/or crunches later. D's want "all" of us to go to a movie. D13 is being quite vocal about that.
Big bear HUGS to all of you. You are the light that hepls me to shine.
Btw, I think Grace O'Malley would kick his ass.....
