Thank you, Irish_love ... just really needed to talk with someone tonight (kids now in bed and I'm alone). It's one thing to deal with my own hurt -- I can handle it -- but it kills me to see when the kids are feeling so messed up. We did end up watching some funny shows tonight and having lots of laughs at bedtime, but I'm venting on my own right now (can't do it in front of children, after all, right?)
Like I said, bad day. Tomorrow I'll hope (and try) for better.
And you're right, it's so helpful to read what others are going through. I don't wish this pain on anybody, but at least there's a place here where we can share it and hold each other up.
