Good luck with your situation, tristan. I hope the link I gave you helped out. A good counselor will help you a lot, and help you with your children, whatever happens next in your life. You sound like the type of person who will be able to find your way.
Hi breakaway,
I am sorry to hear that you will be leaving this thread, but understand. I have really appreciated your advice. I feel my wife feels much the way you did. Which is why I am having a hard time figuring out how to deal with our situation. The simple formula does not seem to fit here. The solution may need to be the same, but it is much harder to kick someone out that you already see as a victim of so much.
Thank you for your advice. I greatly appreciate and respect it.
