Thank all of you for the kind words. I know my posts on here sometimes stir the pot, but that's what I love about this board is that all are such good people. All.
Gordie - to answer your question, my parents are old school. They saw the selfish ways of my ex and tried to talk to me about it. But, being stupid, I wouldn't listed. I told them that we are trying to work it out (at the time I truly believed she was, but I guess I was wrong) and that should accept it and her. I was wrong.
There are moments in this life when you are so confident in the rightness of your actions, that not even for a second do you consider the option that you might be wrong.
