Hi Doll,
Firstly ... congrats on son's 8th grade graduation! Big stuff. Wishing him all the best in H.S.

Secondly - dang. Your MLCer just leaves me shaking my head.

I echo what others, especially Job, has said. Take the summer - and longer if needed - to really consider what it is YOU want in your life and then take action accordingly.

If it's to stay, then stay, but give yourself some time frames to test to see if there's progress, even glacial.

If it's to split, then really think about what you and the boys will need moving forward and what's most important to you.

He has progressed, despite this conversation. I can see it. It's such a darn slow process, and no one knows if their MLCr will be the one to make it back out of the tunnel.

I'm most concerned about YOU. Again, if it's at all possible to take a weekend away to yourself, I urge you to consider it.

You need the break.

A box full of darkness.
It took me years to understand,
That this too, was a gift."
