Yup, it stands for Rising Above It - II

[u-turn]

Hey RAI,
Thanks for posting on my story - How is it going after another lovely weekend?

I think I am going to quickly have to tell my kids about what's happening as I have a rumor train that is steaming through town too (I leaned on the wrong person I guess). I do not believe that it is going to be a big shocker to them, but will undoubtedly affect them in ways that I cannot even predict. It is such a shame.

W & I discussed finding a family counselor to help with this conversation and subsequent co-parenting - I am on board with any C, but it hasn't happened.

I have addressed the, kids thinking they have to cheer me up (your 3rd point up there ^^^) issue. I don't think they get it though - they just want everything to be better - they want everyone to be happy and for all this to go away.

But, it is funny how all we need is the kids to be near us - at times that is my crutch. I try not to show that to them - that they are helping me get through this.

Stay strong buddy!
