(((NEil)))) sorry bud....that must really be hard - but i was just going to say how much a step it was that she asked YOU about your soccer game- ican recall a time when this wasnt even a remote possibilty that she would ask about your stuff- baby steps...
and her saying anything about an article is just her way of trying to make sense of the CURRENT situation with you and your kids- i would not read into it for the future...she is just traying to patch up the current pain you are all feeling.
have you thought about counseling for your kids or are they already going? this can be quite hard on them ( i know you know this)...
the springsteen song is DEEP...
i like "Don't Stop Believen'"
