naej I thought you'd given up on me, disappointed by my choices...
No never disappointed in you. I am proud of you-whatever choice you make. I know that the kids come first. Mine still do and they are all grown up. I wouldn't have it any other way. A fine line indeed. Settle or compromise, I prefer compromise because thats a two way street. Settling is more imotive. A hungry poor man would settle for a meal aday if all he has known is hunger. A rich man would want far more when he has wined and dined on the good life. I guess you can do as you please up to a point in as much as it only involves you and your children,I guess thats what was meant, in that you haven't to consider H in the equation at present. You will come through this and be happy again, try not to overthink and maybe just go with the flow for awhile. I have a few walls need painting but I guess you meant landscapes or something. Go on get out that brush.
