Frank, Dealing with our own pain is a cakewalk compared to having to watch our kids suffer. We can make decisions but they can't, everything is done to them. I know that sad feeling. I remember in January when my D was having problems in school and W and I had been separated about two months. I just sat and cried because she was obviously in pain and I couldn't do anything about it. I told a friend on the phone that I just wanted to move my stuff back into my home and take the pain for my kids, I know I wouldn't do that but I sure wanted to. It's hard but just remember that this too shall pass. Take care of yourself so you can be there for them. Your attitude is the right one, Frank. You can get to know your kids better and make a great life for yourself. It will happen!
