SWAAASSSHY! Wondered where you've been hanging out, bro!
I'll throw in my 2 cents with SD on the forgiveness thing. It doesn't mean to condone - not at all. It just means to let go of the pain, allow yourself to move on and stop digging at that old wound. IMHO, you don't even have to tell STBX if you don't want to - it's ALL about YOUR feelings. So do it, friend!
Great news on you and F21 - couldn't be happier for both of you, 'cause you both deserve somebody terrific. Keep us posted, you hear?

so glad things are going so well for you. well aside from sprained ankles and om of course. but glad for you and f21 (will she be coming aug 2?). you definitely deserve happiness in that regard. but what will the rest of the alphabet do w/o you????
also glad to hear that your stbx is stepping up. totally understand that you are saddened that you can't give your kids what you wish you could (your family intact) but they are sooo lucky to have you for a dad!
see ya soon!
