She is missing out on so much of their lives and yet, she may not ever know that. OR admit it, or really truly grasp at the enormity of her loss. She may not be able to face it.
She does not know what it feels like comforting them when they are sick, tucking them in bed at night, driving them to places and hearing what really happened in their day, their dreams and their fears and day to day wounds, questions, etc.
This really, really hits home. I often wonder does she even know what she is missing? I think in her own way she tries and I do feel that she loves them. Yet, as I told my lawyer, she doesn't use her full allotted time with them. Sigh.

I'm thankful every day for that. Every day. They are my rock as I am theirs.
Thank you for your kind words and sharing your advice!
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.
