Sally,
Your grace and compassion is incredible. I cannot imagine that your actions of late will not have a positive impact on your sitch...if only that H is more likely to place nice in the divorce settlement.

Interesting, but I have been faced with a somewhat similar sitch in that my FIL has been in ICU for the past several days. He has been declining for some time (he's 82 and a physical mess), nevertheless, W has been taking it hard. I find myself having to listen to her fears and listening to her cry.

I guess this is what detachment really feels like. That you can have sympathy for your WAS without feeling the anger/frustration at what they have done to you and your family.

Feels good, doesn't it!

Take care, SD
