Shining - thank you for stopping by. I'm not sure what you meant by "Eric's the star"? My kids are 15, 12, and 6 and are the joy of my life. My H moved out in June. He is one of the very quiet types - avoiding any conversation of any kind. Drives me nuts. I am much better today and just hope and pray that the low times won't get as low as before. I am just tired of this roller coaster - I never thought I would still be in this situation 6 months ago. I wax and wane about standing for my marriage or just moving on a different path. I know I can only focus on me and my growth and my kids. I am trying to do that and just let it go and let God. There is absolutely nothing I can do for my H at this time and I don't think he has even started to figure himself out - he is too busy running from it all and looking for relief elsewhere. I need to find peace within myself and that needs to be enough for me.
