I take no offense, but I have to respectfully disagree with you here. I don't think the thread is too cynical. Gnosis laid out the reasons why I think we have some VERY reasonable, well founded concerns.
For me, I only have to ask one question. What did SD's W do to earn back HIS trust? Just look at all she redily admitted to doing. AND involving the kids in her bad decisions and trying to pit them against their father.
I have no problem with SD (and it's HIS issue not mine) being open to the possibility of reconciling and keeping his family together. I just think his W has a LONG way to go to show she is truly interested in that. She may well be, but I think it is way too soon for SD to trust her.
I hope you don't take offense at my post as I do enjoy reading your posts and listening to your advice.
