Can you link that thread from your friend? I tried to find but I coudn't.
She refused to go MC first b/c she's very stubborn and thinks that none can tell how she act and feels. Secondly, she thinks MC is the waste of money. I even made MC apppointment and had to cancel.
We(esp. I) did great job with kids dealing with our separation. We explained to them that dad have to say to finish his school and at the end we can have better life. We added that the place they are going is much better and there are lots of exiting stuff for them. Actually they are very exited to go right now. It's incrediblly hard for me to see all family except me seem very happy and I'm trying to LOOK happy. From time to time, our kids are saying that they'll miss me a lot and asking why I can't go with them even though we did explain.
I just wish that the crap ends right away but I know it won't. sigh..
