Last year I gave stxH a chance that he asked for and I was in that position. I felt I couldnt do this to my kids. Again, a year later, I face the same reality, he wants back, and he is more serious about it, but weirdly, during our convos, the kids are not mentioned as much and to be honest, I try to keep them out of my mind. It still sucks...
It's mind-blowing how much burden and pressure falls on the LBS. I'm sorry you're both going through it. It helps me though because I can understand a little better what my W has gone through since I tried to reconcile. Not much I can do but it helps to understand. I would have had no idea about so much of this if I hadn't found this forum.
