Oh, one more thing. In regards to XW...she is a great mom to the kids. The fact is that there is her and me, and there is her and the kids. She is great with the kids. I am very blessed and appreciative of that. The her and me part doesn't matter. I can take care of myself. I'm so lucky that the kids are loved by her and she loves them and is there for them. And while the money grab attempts like the mythical hydra seem to grow two new heads for every one I slice off, I will happily fight a snake monster for life as long as my kids have a safe, happy home. She is a good spirit with human shortcomings in a misguided culture. And in the end, aren't we all? It just didn't feel right to focus on the one negative of the situation. The important stuff is all good.
