T, Great to hear that things are going well one week in. I haven't been of the mind to post much about my sitch, but have continued to follow yours after all the help and inspiration you provided to me. It seems to me that the "sanity after the storm" in your house is a sign that you really had done everything in your power to move forward with your W and that you really were out of options (it seems to me from observation that many people think they are at that point, but you REALLY were).

Good for you with the obvious bonds you are building with your kids. Tough to go through this without tearing down W, which really hurts the kids, and you haven't done that. This will really pay off for you and especially for your kids, whatever direction this thing takes for you. Again, good for you.
