Hmmm, stress and eggshells! I won`t miss those either! In fact I suspect there must be a tsunami of relief rushing over you after leaving that stress behind.

I`m looking to you VH at how you`re handling all this and how well its running for you and the kids and I have to say its heartening to read how well you`re doing.

Living through the miserable stage of marriage(and yes, I know its only a stage with any possible kind of an outcome) is pretty much an energy sapper.
