jb, Oh, and the Cardiologist is concerning (I hope you're okay!) and I know long term anxiety can cause other problems, which is why I'm conflicted. A part of me knows this M is VERY unhealthy and perhaps I should be the one to say, it's done.
But the other part of me wants to own my stuff, grow as a person and save this M. I don't want my kids to be shuffled between two homes... and then there's the stress of D. The kid's depression, eventual OP's, blended families, step-parenting. Eeek. That all causes me anxiety too.
That's why I'm letting him decide but he's not very good at decisions. Obviously.
