Hi Nitty, Apparently, my W has told my older D19 that she had "thought about" waiting to leave until D14 was out of school but decided not to (yeah, like an MLCer would EVER do anything like that for anyone else). The thing is My W hasn't been much of a mother since all this began about 3 years ago. There are some days that she seems like she knows that she hasn't been much of a parent but it never lasts. She just can't think of anyone but herself. And yes, it's very hard to parent while they are so lost. I tried and tried to my W to do stuff together as a family but just couldn't ever get her to. Add to that the "forgetting" to go to school meetings, pick up the kids after school, etc. and it makes life really hard.
Thanks for the kind words, Nitty. It's been a long, hard summer for sure!
