Irish,

"Be angry, but do not sin". I like that. Enough to put it on a T shirt. I don't believe I've ever heard that as a Biblical verse, but then I'm hardly a Bible scholar. It's God giving us permission to be angry when wronged, but reminding us that two wrongs don't make a right. (See guys, I get it)

Irish, FWIW, I think you are doing beautifully. Joining a gym is an excellent idea. You are always there for your kids. You are, as Seeking put it to me, the rock of your family. Bet you didn't know you were so tough.

You ARE in control of your family. H walked away, right? His little phone call was just a jab at you, probably because you are handling things so well.

Keep on the path you are following; I think it's the right one for you.
