Unbidden, thanks for your thoughts and I'm very sorry to hear about your H's illness. My mother has terminal cancer, it's a horrible disease. My thoughts are with you.

I likely did get a bit defensive. I know I've been that way with those around me that have been pushing me to D my W for some time now. I've tried to stick with the idea that no one can really tell me when the right time to file for D is, I will know when it's time. The brutal part for me (well, there are many brutal parts) is that the person I have to fight is the person I love unconditionally. I don't hate her, I don't even dislike her. If I did, I guess it would be easier to fight her. I don't like what she's doing to our kids though so for that reason I will fight with everything I have.
