Have just been skimming through your threads and just wanted to let you know that I feel for you. You've endured a lot.
You know, since I started my own sitch, I keep coming across these other stories, both on these boards and in day-to-day interactions. Maybe I was hearing them before and I just didn't understand or think about them. In any case, I suddenly find myself looking about and seeing all this incredible release of emotion. And I find myself asking, "what do I have to complain of? others are in such skewed positions, where choices become so much harder."
I was in the middle of my parents' divorce. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. I'm glad my W and I don't have kids for that reason. The difference between my parents and those here? They were concentrated on themselves. I look at people here, like you, and I see them working hard to keep their emotions from affecting their children as much as possible.
So what's the point of all this? Nothing really, other than I'm reaching out to tell you that, though I may not understand, I appreciate. You're a good person doing the best you can do and that's a respectful and worthy thing to do. We're all just muddling through this confused and awkward life and situations can turn on a dime. Either you make the best of it or you sink. So what will it be? Don't we all know the answer?
