I know what you mean when talking about the kids memories. I'm always pondering this. I don't want them to think it okay to just walk away from a marriage/problem (especially when we weren't having marriage trouble that I know of), I don't want them to think what w has done/is doing w/herself is normal, and I don't want them to think our current situation is either. What can one do? They're going to remember her dragging them off and that she leaves town ever other week.
You're h's response to the homework sounds like my w. She can't take a compliment from me at all. I think it is counter to their illusion of how terrible we are.
Maybe we can start a MLC diet book. W informed me last week she was now only eating hard boiled eggs and nothing else....great, lol. I immediately thought of your post about the low calories and being moody.
Glad you're feeling better and on solid ground again. And yes we all deserve better, it's a shame our MLcers can't see how lucky they could be.
