As a LBS I WISH my W was as invested in D3.5 as you are with your with your S's.....Then again, if she was, we would have a rallying point for R. People who are married and both share our mindset dont end up here.
That's certainly not true in my case. My W has been a loving mother throughout this sitch just as I've been a loving father. Nothing has changed in that regard, and it certainly isn't leading us to reconciliation. In fact I've mentioned before in my thread that I think that was a big contributing factor to our M failing- we were both very devoted parents but let our M fade into oblivion as our parenting became more and more active as the kids grew up. It does seem like most WAS's distance from their kids as well as their LBS, but not always.

I googled it and it's available for free on the 'net in PDF form. Just started reading it, wow it's really an eye-opener. Of course it's the WAS that really needs to read it, but good luck with that!
