Mulesqb - Can the sun shine on a donkey's a$$?

My then 6 year old once said to me "mommy is not the same anymore". Powerful words from a little boy.

I got the same thing from S10 tonite when he cam eback from washing his hands in the bathroom to find that his mother had gone home. He said said the same thing and repeated 3x - I can't believe she left. Just another in a long list of very painful things going on right now.

As a loving and dedicated father, you must do 'damage control' now...even for HER sake should be ever come out of this. Kids need TWO parents and her departure hurts them. Stay strong...nurture them and support her TO THEM in your own kind and gentle words. It's OK to say to them that you love her and she is going thru tough times.

Man - I'm trying as hard as I can. I just have to do it all the time now. She is very withdrawn right now. She is thinkiong hard about something - wants to be alone A LOT.

Your children will look to you now mules. Even in her 'implosion', they will look at you to see how to react to a woman...how to deal with her behavior...etc.

I hate to say it - but I'm ready for her to hit rock bottom. Her parents and I think she is 2 1/2 years into this. They think ouyr bond was so strong it just took her a long time to get to me.
