Hey FIB, wounds are still fresh right now. Eventually you will not be affected by your XW's "shots". Feelings of failure is something that I felt. Feelings of wasted time or of living a lie for a decade or so....but never a feeling of being a loser. I do not know ALL the ins and outs of your sitch but maybe your XW should carry that tag. Well, you will have to make the best of the time you have with your kids....show them the way.....be strong for them.....they are sponges at this age. Don't make one person affect you so much FIB....nobody should have so much power. Walk with your head held high!
