Thanks TL.
I'm really impressed by your progress. I'm sitting here alone once again at my daughters end of year program. I'm the only dad who is alone every year because my W doesn't care enough to take the time off. She can take the time for lawyer but not this! She stopped coming when MLC started and I still don't know why I even care since its so obvious her values no longer match mine. I think it's that and the total selfishness that get me most. I've been married 20 years, together 25 and I just can't believe this stranger is the same person!

You're right about her leaving and giving me the freedom although the little time she spends with the kids and me already it won't be that different. I thought about it and I really think if it wasn't for the kids and that she is their mother I wouldn't care if she left, D me, whatever.

Thanks for the kind words!
