@NTX - I've debated only about my step-kids; they really need me, and I feel like W may quickly bring someone else into their life, and they're going through so much with a custody fight, and W's erratic behavior.

However, any relationship I would have with them would be away from W. I barely see XW1, maybe text her once a week - and that's how it would be with W.

I'm not the type to hang onto crap too long, at least once I know it's time to hit the road.

@TTD - hugs back!

jp - appreciate the well wishes.
