FIB,

I don't think I've ever posted to you before, but I saw a comment on another thread about "what FIB went thru yesterday" so I wanted to stop by and just offer some support.

This is rough.

Filing for divorce last summer was the toughest decision I've ever had to make in my life, and I will always remember the day I (as Chocolateeyes) announced it on the SSM board. While the overwhelming majority of people were supportive, some were pretty judgmental, and it stung pretty bad. I don't see that same thing here, but what I mean to say is that this is a VERY tough, VERY personal decision that ONLY YOU can make. I see posters who I respect a lot, posting on opposite sides of this issue. At the end of the day, you'll have to do what you feel is best for you and your kids, not in that order.

Somehow, I know that you will.

Manly, Sopranos-style hugs,

Puppy
