Well, she must have known we were talking ab her. WW is coming to pick up D. The funny thing is WHEN she does ask her to spend the night, it's during the week. Guess having a 15 year old daughter with you can spoil your weekend plans, huh.

Honestly I'm trying not to think ab it to much. I've got a lawyer and right now he's handling the legal stuff. The kids are with me so I don't want to get screwed.

"I reread his first thread and that is probably because by time he arrived here he had gone through everything and already reconciled with his wife."

True, however this is a DB site which uses basic DB principles to save a M. Telling someone that their WAS is crazy and that the LBS should move on doesn't help.

Sad_Dad, if it's any consolation, you can ask any of the vets and they will tell you that we've seen much worse situations that were turned around. Of course, nothing in life is guaranteed and there is no promise your W will "wake up" and come back. But keep the focus on making YOU stronger. Get your self-confidence back. Keep the focus off of her, as hard as it is. It does get better.

Thank you for the encouragement. THATS what I'm looking for with just a little hope that all is not lost forever.

This is an interesting response to "what do you want to do?"

I asked what YOU wanted, and you replied with things about what your W and D may or may not want.

My point was that you asked about what you should do - but I think the action isnt really as important as the reason behind it. If theres a great steakhouse next door to your W's place and you were going there for dinner, fine, take D over. If you had plans to go out the opposite direction, then dont.

How can you continue to focus on you?

Alright, here's another question. WW's BF has been arrested for domestic violence a couple of times. Should u have it put in the D papers that he can have no contact with my daughter? My lawyer says we can. Right no I don't trust WW's judgement with this.

I work in healthcare. I take care of people. It's what I do all day long. Rarely do I do what I want.

Me too. I'm a nurse. I took care of people in the ICU and in Hospice. I had gotten so accustomed to putting everyone's needs first and mine last. Bomb was dropped a few months after I went back to work from maternity leave. I will admit, taking care of others actually HELPED me get through my own stuff for quite some time. To help others who had it much worse distracted me away from my woah is me.

I did get burnt out. I do not work in patient care right now. (as you can tell by how I can post). But self care is so needed when you spend majority of time caring for others.
