Hello Dawn!! Thank You! I too am enjoying the fruits of my labor, so to speak!! My stress level has changed so much. I used to get major headaches and pain in my neck. Hardly get that anymore. My self confidence has come back. I still had bad days once in awhile. I am stronger inside. I have learned about what I will and won't tolerate.

Kids are doing good!! Still have a good relationship with my stepkids. D13 and S8 are getting ready for school. Both are excited! Stepsons baby is getting big so fast!! I visit with them quite often. Stepson chose not to visit with his mom last time she was up here. Said it was too uncomfortable with her affair partner there. I guess ExW tries to reach out the them once in awhile, but they don't talk to her. Alot of anger and hurt they are going through.
