It seems to me you handled a difficult situation very well. I think those of us with "older" children are in a different spot than those with younger children who have to deal w/ custody issues etc. You, I and Bethie and others had teenagers that wanted nothing to do with their Dads at the time of the bomb. In some ways (for me anyway) that made it easier to move on.
I have a friend whose H left her for another woman when she had 3 young ones at home. It was so important for her that her kids have a R w/ their dad, who lives 6 hours away. She worked through so much to develop a working relationship w/OW. Her reasoning being that this OW would be around her kids whenever they are visiting their D. Also there was a new baby. The older 3 kids love their little brother. It is amazing to see all of them together...like I did 2 years ago when the oldest graduated HS.
I like what wonder said. One more milestone under your belt. You must be so proud of Ry tho!
Congratulations, SG
