GAG - thank for stopping by and for you story, I'm sorry that your XH seems to be still lost but you are doing so well smile. I wish you all the best and hope that his MLC comes to an end soon.

I too believe that this all happens to us for a reason...to teach us...to grow. I guess these are lessons we can't learn as a couple so we have to do it separately. I feel in my heart that my H will be back...one day, but in the mean time it's all about me.

CW - thank you for thinking of me, my daughter is doing OK, she is very careful not to talk to me about her dad sometimes she volunteers if he texts her. Apparently he did text her about 3 days ago, so I guess he is alive.
You ask if my D understand what's going on with her dad. She will be 17 soon, so I don't hide things from her. I don't burden her by talking about him too much, only when the situation warrants it. When he left us for the 2nd time I talked to her about MLC. I tried to make her understand what is happening to him, what the affair in MLC means and I told her to be patient and try to be understanding that we just have to let him go and figure things out on his own.

HB - thank you so much for sharing...you make me think and reflect, your posts are always full of "food for thought"

No shortcuts in MLC...that's for sure.

Thank you for that HB, it's so true and sometimes we tend to loose sight of that.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. Hope you all have a wonderful day smile
