As always, thank you so much for your comments and kind words.
B, we have similar feelings about things, you and I. Here is hoping that we have the strength to make the tough choices and be good to ourselves. This is an unfair and tough situation for all of us.

I absolutely feel the same, both you and Snodderly have been with me since my first post and I was so grateful! But...I have to confess, this ride ain't over. My thread is getting long, so I will open a new one with an update. I think I will need everyone's support just as much as ever. Probably a couple of 2x4s as well. And, I will definately try to help out where I can, too.
And am I wiser? In some ways, yes and in a good way. I will likely never make the same mistakes again. I now know that true hearbreak hurts - really, really hurts! That has given me more empathy. I am too near it yet to know if it was worth the cost of admission.
Snodderly, I think I am going to need your (ahem! everyones!) help "dropping the rope". In fact, I know that I am. I need to find that balance between not nailing the door shut and letting him have a taste (or a big fat swallow) of his consequences but without appearing that I am being vindictive. Such a fine line!
