I'm getting there, Being Me! I met someone today who has the same virus and we compared our almost passing out stories. It's so nice to find your misery has company I had a nice conversation tonight with the gymnastic coaches husband, who also runs the club with her. I dropped in to pass on some info and suddenly he said to me "Whatis, you and your wife live separately, right?" I said we did. He said "how do you two do it? Your girls are both so well adjusted and happy, you would never know their parents were separated" He then went on to tell me of all the kids they've dealt with at the club who carry so much pain around from their parents separations, he couldn't imagine how those kids live with that pain but "your kids are just so amazing!" I told him that from the start my wife and I decided that the kids came first and our differences had to be put aside. I told him that we still make decisions as a family and are very open with the kids, we don't bad mouth each other and we co-operate. He again said, "that is just amazing" he then went on to tell me what a wonderful kid my D12 was and how she cared about people....It touched me that he would say these things. We've never had a real conversation before and we yakked for about half an hour after that. Once again, sometimes the things you need come from the strangest places! Just thought I'd share that cuz those people are out there for all of us at times you least expect it!
