Still Smiling

Thanks guys I hadn't thought about asking for extras help while he is gone but thats a great idea.

My exH disease is that he is a workaholic - he uses work as a place to hide from emotions. Even when he is working in NY he uses work as his excuse not to attend any school events, as to why he can't ever ever walk kids to school or pick them up. Work makes it easier for him to have shorter weekends than agreed upon.

I had dinner with a friend tonight. She made me realize my exH did me a favor by leaving me. He is so insane and disconnected from emotions that eventually I would have been forced to leave. That would have been much harder.

I got lucky and have two amazing kids!
