Hey SP, I was mostly venting my frustrations after reading page after page of this sort of hypnotic DB mantra that I quoted. That said, I see your 'sitch' is very atypical in many important respects esp. the custody and financial (these are the BIG ones) - if you were a typical LBH and the primary wage earner you would most likely have gotten the short end of the stick in these areas on top of all the emotional pain and you'd be a lot more p*ssed. And often the WAW is hostile or extremely wayward requiring a lot of court battle. On top of that I do not identify at all with your cultural, moral, family and religious views unfortunately - to each his own in this regard I guess. But other LBS's may resonate with what I've said. At any rate back to your mojo generation.
