It is nearly impossible to go NC when children are involved. You are doing very well keeping contact to a minimum. Keep up the good work.

This paragraph brings up a question that most LBS'es lose sight of(myself included). Were you happy before the bomb or before getting into this mess? I know that I wasn't.

After I typed the question above, I went back to read all of your post again. By what I can gather, you weren’t happy either. Please correct me if I am wrong. It seems to me as though it was just a matter of time before one of you had enough.

That being said, it is time to start looking forward. Look at this as a gift from your H. An opportunity for you to grow.

What can you do to make yourself happy? You need to take a hard look at yourself. Remember that DB’ing is about focusing on solutions and things that work. So no matter what happens with your R/M to your H, you will be happy at the end of the day. More importantly, you will be a great example of strength and dignity for your daughters.
