Good to hear from you 2B and AJ, You are so right AJ. I have been lucky enough to have parents that have been married for 55 years. Even in my large, extended family of Aunts, Uncles and cousins, there are very, very few D's. It's just not something my family does. Family ties are very important. Total contrast to W's family and boy, has it hurt them. MIL lives alone and has never even dated since her D (26 years ago) and she's 70! BIL has been in jail several times, married a horrible woman whom he had 3 kids with, and was just arrested once again. Of course, you know about my W and her depression history and now her MLC. I really don't think my W could have avoided her MLC no matter what. The moment her father came back into her life, that just sealed it.
No way I want the same to happen to my D's that happened to my W or her family. I never wanted to be in this position but now that I am, I have no choice but to do everything in my power to help them not have to go through that.
