Jefe -- You are always so good at posting on other people's threads so I wanted to check in to give you some support. Just read your back story. Wow. That is a lot to absorb. Even though you say that your relationship has been good, it does sound like your W is not a stable, trustworthy spouse. I admire you stepping in to raise D7, however she was in a needy spot when she married you, which is some cause for concern. Now is the time to take care of yourself and the kids. I'm sure it's difficult not knowing where they are, or where she is taking them. As long as the girls are not anxious or confused about it, try not to get involved. Step away and detach from W as best you can.
None of us here want our M's to end. But when I read these stories about WAS it makes me think that, even though we contributed to the demise of our M, we deserve better.
