Oh, I'm still lurking out here. Nothing real profound to say, just making sure that all my old DB friends are staying on task. Have had some real odd week, some of the experience was great, others I wouldn't wish on an enemy.
So far it would appear XW is still on her skid. You hate to see someone you have loved for so long tear down what they have worked so hard for in their life (not financial) I think XW has kind of check out spiritually. I don't know exactly what ground she is going to stand on to teach the kids.
Myself, I'm doing OK, just not always enjoying the view. Kids are happy to see me any time I am around them. In fact S12 is always trying to negotiate for more time. The kids act more as a group here then they do "across town".
All in all I would have to say, I wish I had found a solution, but I do realize that their are two choices to be made and I'm only responsible for one. The lifting of stress is great, the loneliness really sucks. However, I don't miss trying to address the, "what is she thinking?", question. I guess if I knew, we wouldn't have a problem.
