Hi Lib and BND. Sorry to hear about your H's stroke but pleased he made a full recovery. Maybe the move he is making towards a separation(how much more separated can you be though? he has been gone 7 years hasn't he) will work out ok. may make him finally realise all he is losing. You will just continue as you have been doing and life will be as it was. I hope you continue to do things for you and make your own live the best it can be. I know New Year is hard for you so hope now that's passed you will find some joy in your life again. Hope all the children and g/children are doing well. Take care.
