A lot of food for thought jb...glad S has you, since W does not seem to be a capable parent right now. Not that she loves S less than you, but I find that people go a few ways with kids; they put kids first and that helps to heal them as well. They can't think of kids at all because they can't fix themselves at this point and most unfortunately, the last, they don't care all that much about the kids in the first place
You sound balanced...
KP thanks for stopping by!
That all sounds like a pretty good assessment.
I'd say for the most part I'm pretty balanced. I think I may gotten myself too much of a life at times, but it sure beats the alternative!
