Thanks Glenda, for your empathy, and also for the info about the project. I sent off the 500 word submission today ... I hope what I wrote is enough. I've never applied for anything like this before, so I just wrote what came to mind. I live in Canada now, and am a citizen, but I have lived in the USA too, and am originally from South Africa. So, been around the planet somewhat.

I've also wondered about Phoenix' XW ... her mental state, anyway.

My H is a kind person. It's one of the things that attracted me to him. My first H was not, in fact, the complete opposite. I am glad that that part of my H stayed around. The worse part of his MLC was his disconnection from reality. He still loved his children, and "cared deeply" for me and regarded me as "part of his family and always will." Weird!

He and my D16 were crying while I was going through the seizure on Tuesday (or was it Wednesday ... aaaggh, my memory sucks), and it broke my heart. Sometimes, I wish I was more unaware of what's going on around me, but the meds prevents that. S21 is more practical and takes charge, thank goodness.

Sounds like your XH is starting to come out of the tunnel, Glenda. Would you take him back if he asked? Or has that ship sailed?
