Don't take the questions the wrong way. They were meant to stir and provoke thought, not defensiveness. Not sure that is what you felt, but it's what I got from the post.
If you see changes for the better, I believe you. Just know that I've seen so many other issues that were preventable and so, I urge you to tread lightly. That's it.
As for the adult children, sounds as if that is your "stuff" and you are handling it. Are they his kids too? I ask b/c you said "my adult children" and not "ours". Either way, I wish you good luck. J-
