It's been a long time. Update... D will be final 12/29. Just in time for the new year. Also, almost 3 years exactly to the date we separated (12/25 - 2005).

I'm sorry it ended, but not broken because of it. For those new to this experience, you'll be OK no matter what happens. I promise. You'll certainly be stronger and wiser because of it.

One thing I do recommend is no matter how badly they treated you, they still are the Father/Mother of your Children. Most likely, they won't ever realize the pain they've caused you. Mine is still very confused and unsure of herself in so many ways. Reach deep inside for that new found humility and strength to forgive and respect them. The kids will need that from you to adapt to this new lifestyle they also find themselves in.


"It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare."
