Hey, NC. Glad to hear that your younger brother is calling your SIL out like that; he sounds like a good brother! NC, I don't know about you, but I was much like your brother K the first year or so of the separation; thinking if I was a certain way maybe everything would get worked out. I know in retrospect, I did a lot of wussy things I shouldn't have, but I was motivated by love and fear for my family. I think if the D proceeds, in a year or so, K will prob. have more of a mind-set like I do today and you as well.
And good about the counseling. My kids had it last year also, and I think it was a good thing. BTW, I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing for our kids to see our pain over the D, is it? I mean I think our WAS go overboard trying to be cheery and acting like D is painless, so maybe it's a good thing they see some of our emotions.... a tiny bit of them anyway.
