Hi LWB! My H is too, I think. Sometimes I feel frustrated or something that it doesn't seem fair H can just walk away from our family and much of the responsibilities, but it has made the kids and I have a very strong, special bond that I don't think we're going to lose. So he is missing out in some ways for sure! But of course that was something our H's decided to do, so I don't feel too much empathy for them!!! Karen
