Interested in the MLC perspective

Ken -
I'm going through the same thing - not sure who the OW or OWs are - but everything is my fault. He has "put up" with me all these years. It's "his turn" My kids are close to the same age as yours - but my youngest is 16. H texts them maybe once or twice a day - maybe calls a couple times a week. But he is the "happiest" he has ever been to everyone else. My Ds say its creepy because he has left us all behind and crushed. Unfortunately from what everyone says here - this is their "normal".
Heartbreaking is a continuous state of being for the LBS and their kids - at least in my opinion.
