AJ, UR, Heather,

Thanks for your encouraging words. I am at a real different place in my life right now. I am ready for the next chapter. I just know that my W and I love our children very differently. Doesn't make either one of us better than the other, just different.

And as far as saying something beautiful, Heather, I am just me. I have struggled for a while with my anger, my sorrow, my resentment, my rejection, and all those things that every LBS goes through. I have found clarity in my approach to the world. My children are my legacy to this world. They will be my lasting mark. I love those boys more than they can ever understand. When people say to me that I could walk away from my W at any time and no one would blame me, I just can't agree. I had to make sure that I tried and, in the end, that my sons would be safe emotionally and physically.

I have a long, long road ahead of me. I know that. But I have a new positive direction.
