Great Future! I think that your future is not "unknown". I think that your future will be good. I loved your friend's letter, and he is a good friend for writing you--its hard to do that. Finally, after months of hearing about my heroic efforts and my pain, my aunt FINALLY asked me, "Have you had ENOUGH yet?" It took me awhile longer to get that sense in my heart, that YES, I'd had enough, but it was really liberating to get to that point and to move on.
Life is too short to let someone take that much of you for so long. Keep playing the guitar. Remain cordial with your W for the sake of the kids--that's important--but keep yourself whole. Things will come to you if you just let her go.
