Our little guy (17 months)I don't think senses anything amiss. Our daughter (9) seems to know something is up with my husband and myself.

I know in my heart she is scared/confused because she has seen enough people outside our family go thru divorce that she has asked us again and again to never get divorced. I do have faith however that if/when we have "the talk" that she is a strong girl and we will get thru the sadness together. My biggest fear is that she will forever doubt that when a couple commits to forever that it doesn't really mean anything. My husband and I both come from "in tact" homes and that is what I always wanted for my kids.

As far as GAL, I think mentally I'm getting there but in actions I haven't been doing too much. I know I need to DO more but I just feel like I have this HUGE weight on my shoulders every waking moment. I work full time and when I'm not working I'm driving the kids back and forth to school/daycare. Truthfully, I think over the years that I put myself SO far down on the "importance" list that I lost January girl along the way.
