I am proud of how you handled your day, J...
I feel your hurt, the first Xmas of my W's mlc was pretty horrible, very similar to what you described.

The main thing, the important thing is you were the rock for your kids. That is what they need now, and you stepped up beautifully.

Keep going, hang in there...you are awesome!!
