Lou- sending you all my good wishes but afraid I am not much use otherwise. It is hard to live life as a single when you were a wife and mother for so long. I just feel for you and want you to know you have people supporting you and cheering you on.

I keep a bunch of those motivational sayings to try to motivate me. Sometimes they are just rubbish but in your situation I am reminded of this one saying...

"Don't treat someone as a priority when they are treating you as an option."

H is not happy but is he treating you as the W and mother of his children? Is he caring for you or is he even capable right now?

Hang in there my friend and listen to your inner voice. You are a strong and ethical woman. I put my money on you.
