Hi Vge, I am so sorry that mediation did not completely go your way, it's so sad that he felt it necessary to play dirty, hopefully one day he will see what a selfish little man he has become.

You have shown all of us here how much strength can be found within oneself when pushed to the limits.You continue to dig deep and find a way through, I see your faith pulling you through and I am so pleased you have found support within your church.

It is sad that you are no longer able to homeschool your children, but maybe see this as a new start and opportunity for all of you. Finding a job (I hope you can wait until your are fully in remission?) will give you a different direction that could be a good thing - new skills, new friends and possible social life outside of what you already do. I know that getting my job was the best thing I ever did - a new sense of independence, it gave me financial stability, friends and the start of a future. Your children will soon adapt to school, they will make friends and join clubs.

Vge, we have seen you conquer all the hurdles that you have found in your way so far, you are great at adapting to the situation before you and I know this hurdle you will find away over too.

Leave your h to his miserable guilt ridden life and you enjoy yours. The LBS has more power than you realise and you will have the upper hand in the end.
