Yoyo, I just don't understand how a father can forget his kids, whether they're grown or not. I know I get busy sometimes but I can't help having my thoughts drift back to them eventually. I am thankful I have a webcam to look in on S3 during the day at his preschool. And I can inquire with S7's teacher via email.
Bethie, this does help me leave the rope on the ground, where it belongs.
Lwb, if this is script, and I have no reason to think otherwise, then it is sad commentary on how severe this WAS sickness is. I would hope this particular mania were isolated to W's own case of this disease. But who can say how far the insanity that leads them to sabotage their M and family will actually take them?
Tal, I don't have much sympathy for the OM potentially losing his family, not after aiding and abetting the dissolution of mine. The coward. But it's not fair to his wife and children -- I don't care whether or not she might have truly been "abusive" to him. The kids certainly don't deserve it.
Sally, I still think that I would rather all the mystery and drama be set aside, and have my WAS level with me honestly. Part of me might fear to hear what really is going on, but I've come to despise dishonesty and deceit so much I'd be willing to risk the pain.
Thanks to all of you for the kind words of support. As I mentioned, I'm still thinking on this new revelation. It doesn't really change anything except solidify my resolve to keep moving forward with or without her -- most likely without her.
I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend. I caught a bargain movie this afternoon -- saw Hellboy 2. It was a good escape from everyday concerns (and not-so-everyday concerns).
