Well, Maria. Whew! I'm sorry. Sorry that you tried so hard and lost. Sorry that he took his toll on you, and the kids. You need someone to care for you, someone to be nice. He isn't that way. Maybe he's changed through the years and was nice once, but you gave him more than enough chances and he isn't nice TO YOU. And really, that's what matters. He can be the world's greatest guy, but if he can't be nice to you, then it still won't work. I feel so bad for your kids. I can't imagine what your son did to start today's problem. But I worry that he will be deeply scarred by what happened today.
