Thank you for reaching out to me. Your line about "don't get involved, but don't be a barrier" rings true for me. I am amazed at the comments about a MLCer not being focused on their kids. I think my H's focus on his kids vindicate him a bit and make him feel like he is still a good person and kind and loving. He DOES NOT WANT to look like the bad guy in all of this. He has even expressed this to me. He has said that he wants our circle of friends to view us as the most civil, respectful divorce they have ever seen. Such a noble goal huh???
