Thanks - and yes - I know attitude is the whole key to overcoming all of this adversity. Although I am and have always been very emotional (probably one of my weaknesses), I have always been a positive thinker and projected a positive attitude (one of my strengths I think) so they kind of balance out. Whenever I feel a bit depressed, I catch myself and look to do something to diffuse it, so I remain as positive as possible.
As far as the exchange between W and I when she left - I think a much more telling action will be when I am down there to drop off my D11 and and I leave back for NY for an undetermined time. But - I agree - there wasn't interaction between us at all last 9 months - so maybe that was a tiny step in the right direction - who knows....... I'm not dwelling on it - and am as determined as possible to be strong for me, her, and the kids.
Later all..... hope everyone is doing OK out there.......
