Guess we'll just have to agree to disagree about it then sandi.

My personal concept of honor does not include having a sliver of respect for a " man " that raises his hands to a woman under ANY circumstances except for life and death.

I most certainly honored her and our relatonship by remaining faithful , always supporting , respecting , trusting and loving her to the best of my abilities. Even if on occasion my abilities fell short of my heartfelt feelings.

I have already considerd my children. They will be told the TRUTH as appropriate to their age(s) when it comes up.

Mommy and Daddy love them VERY VERY MUCH, and NONE of this is their fault in ANY WAY, and sometimes no matter how hard we try, people sometimes just cant get along and be a Mommy and Daddy together anymore.

Believe me, my heart is ACHING for robbing my children of the chance to have a loving , intact , two parent family more then anyone can possibly understand. I have already accepted my responsibility for not being as attentive as I could have and should have been. I am OVERWHELMED at all the things Im going to have to replace in my daughters life being the Mommy and the Daddy at the same time. She just this year completed her first year of Brownie's and LOVED IT. Hopefully by the end of the summer things will have cooled down enough where my WAW can begin to at least be friendly and civil enough to be around us and do things with her daughter without resenting me.
I forsee LOTS of tears in my future for my daughter and its breaking my heart. Im alread struggling with the fact that Im going to have to explain to her why she wont be living with Mommy.
