Thank you Pearl. I do need some understanding here, because I really have nobody to talk to about this situation. My mom doesn't understand (she and dad have been married for 38 years), obviously the kids are out, so it is lonely. You can't possibly understand the situation or the feelings that go with it if you haven't been there before. I feel like if there were no kids involved it would be so much easier for me to cut ties and walk away. I could get mad, stay mad, and feel cold and angry. With the kids, I will have to see him all the time for years, and then after that too. I have to be civil and try to keep the communication open and friendly.
