I have to say that I agree with 25yrsmlc and labug. What's happening to you is what happens to many LBS who have been at this for awhile. All of the good points of the M are now starting to fade from your memory. There was alot of mindreading going on about how you think your W felt.
The thing is that you're always going to get varying pieces of advice. You just need to decide what would work. In fact, when we commented on the church issue with you, you argued back that what you did was right and your situation quickly degraded.
Now I'm not saying that one person's advice is better than others, it's up to you to see what creates the least amount of impact for your kids. You say that you're compassionate towards your W, that you care for her, etc. But some of your actions have shown differently. Sometimes it just seems like your pride gets in the way. Just my opinion.
I hope your children have a better time coping.
