I have been thinking about this for some time ... and I recall J3B posting a few times on my wall and every time I was doing the Wayne's World "I'm not worthy" dance. This was over 2 years ago and I still recall some of his sage advice.

That said I had to go back and find the 4 things that stuck with me all this time, I went back to find them exactly and not paraphrase as I did not want to botch it up ... he was beyond wise and I think one could just read his posts and learn more than they would imagine.

As for your son if this goes to a divorce, and I really get the feeling that if you get a divorce its going to be because YOU ran out patience. You're going to find out that the LBS almost always has more control of the situation than anyone who first comes here realizes.

If this goes to a divorce, you aren't going to settle for just anyone in your next relationship. You might be surprised at just how well a family you can make AFTER a divorce.

Last God is a jerk. He seldom gives us what we want. But almost always what we need. : )
