FL,

You sound good. I'm glad I caught you here. It seems strange to think back and really understand what we were trying to do -save our families. What we did not know then was that we could not do that. Only our X's/STBX's could. They held all the power.

I know I mentioned my nephew the Marine to you while you were in Iraq. I think he was there when you were. His X sent him a Dear John Email while he was there and the Marines actually allowed him to cut his 3rd tour short and go home. He tried just like we did and he also failed. But I don't know how much of a failure it was. His X had to move away from PA because the owner of the business where her lover worked was fired when the ex-Marine boss found out about what they did. They moved and married one another and took my nephew's kids with them. His crazy X last New Years Eve was put in jail for spousal abuse and they are now divorced. My nephew now has full custody of his kids and married the perfect woman this past April.

Karma? I believe so. Your STBX will get what she gives. I just got the re-mastered Beatle's Abbey Road Albumn. "And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make"

I hope your kids are doing well with this transition FL.
