While I worry tremendously about my children, I've never worried that I personally will be ok. I've known that eventually I will be better than fine. I can't say the same with full confidence about my kids, but then, what parent can?
Raliced, you know I'm coming from the same place. It's been about my kids all along. And although I think they would have been much better off with two loving parents in one home, I think they are doing OK. I'll bet yours are, too. And you may be right about your STBX relaxing more when he knows things are final, I'm sure it's stressful on both of you.
You really do sound like you are doing great, hang in there!
