You are so right about feeling good and getting kicked in the gut. I am learning to condition myself for it.
I like the having a few beers analogy, it sometimes feels good just to vent, thanks.
Greek-I was just trying to say I am having an easier time detaching from W and working on myself. I'm not supposed to detach from my kids and I'm not, it makes it more difficult, and, with some things, easier. I love my wife, not the person that she is now. I hope she's in there somewhere and the kids make it easier to have some patience and try to find or wait on her to come back while making the necessary changes in myself to help her find her way. I'm not explaining it very well.....
