I want to be with my kids and provide them with love, a home, and a sense of stability that they deserve and that I had as a child. I want them to know love and be able to guide them through life in a meaningful way.
Great. I don't see any reason you can not have this.

I want someone who loves me, respects me, and appreciates me for who am vs. what I provide. I want respect. I want to be able to trust again. I want to fall asleep next to someone. I want someone to talk to, share with, and support my emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical being. I want to love ...again. Is that too much?
Someone hit on this a little. There is a universal law: PASS OUT WHAT YOU WANT TO RECEIVE. You want more respect, start respecting yourself and everyone else. Start appreciating everyone for who they are. I need support, therefore I support others. By supporting others, I support myself. The more money I pass out, the more money ends up in my bank account. The more I smile at others, the more smiles I get back.
As far as respect, enforceable boundaries are great. I can not control MsR2C, but I can set boundaries. I can control how I react to MsR2C. She no longer controls me.......
