Thanks everyone for taking the time to stop by. I've spent most of the day overcome with guilt regarding the kids.

I am trying to remember that I am not the one who chose to break the marriage vows (time and time again).

Trying to convince myself that ultimately teaching them to demand a certain level of respect is a good thing.

Often falling short of making me feel like anything other than a homewrecker. Of my own home.

Tried for a while to look at it like a brain dead patient... the marriage is already dead and I'm just pulling the plug. That worked for a while.

Then S19 started talking about the SuperBowl, which is a HUGE deal at our house... and yeah, that wasn't good.

I 51% expect him to refuse to leave. Mostly because if he feels it is not according to his plan, under his control, he'll balk. And oh my, that's going to be interesting.

You teach people how to treat you by what you allow.
What you stop.
And what you reinforce.
