Just stopped by for a second and caught this. I'm happy for you, T. You're awesome!

I'm glad you're being careful to not rewrite history. Easy thing to do. Many will to help with the pain. Of course, you have the benefit of seeing how well that works from a different vantage point smile

Can I make a suggestion? If. If she decides to move back - give it a lot of thought. And make sure that you see the changes in her before you let her. She has a way to go yet to really internalize the things she is learning. I can tell you that the second leaving is harder than the first. And besides, if she does want to come back to the relationship (not just the way things were or the house), dating your W can be a lot of fun. It can be a great way to start a new R with her. But that's harder if she is under the same roof, with the same pressures of family etc that she didn't deal with very well the first time around.

Glad the boys are doing well! And that you are doing well.

Take care,

AJ
