Thanks CIPA. I don't disagree with a single thing that you said above.
Being compassionate and understanding by DB'n didn't do a single thing for our relationship after she made the decision to leave...BUT it does help me. It's helped me to become more compassionate and understanding. It's helped me to become better.
Thank you for your post. You stay strong and protect yourself and your children too.
