Hey, Grace - I'm sorry, I'm not up to date, as I don't have time to go back and catch up. I think your H has moved out though - I hope you're doing okay.

A suggestion, if you haven't already read it - How to Talk so Kids will Listen, and Listen so Kids will Talk. Excellent book, one I should re-read myself from time to time. Works well with adults, too \:\)

You can't hold up your H's end of the parenting job, all you can do is your best (which you are). Your kids know you are there for them and hopefully one day they will get to tell their father about the impact of his actions on them. The urge to protect our children is so strong and the task so impossible, it's hard not to feel overwhelmed. You're doing great.
