But there are some hard truths that we, as LBS parents, must face. I agree that you should not do anything to make her life easier, but I also think you need to be careful to not let rightousness get between you and doing what's right by your daughter sometimes too. Just be careful. It's a fine line. Sometimes doing what's best for your daughter might look an awful lot like "making her life easier", I know it does to me. But always check your motivations and intentions.
You’re right; this can be a tough balance. We definitely need to put our children first, even if it might not look like DB’ing.

This is the key right here. Something to always consider. I have to admit, my intentions of not giving my W updates this weekend were mixed. On one hand after our conversation Friday I needed to put her out of my mind as much as possible. But secondly, I do admit that I wanted her to feel the reality of her not being there for our D while she is sick.

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.
