Thanks Cadet - I apologize if there was a double entry on this topic, didn't realize that the forum doesn't post right away.
I love these links and will read all of them. The thing I'm struggling with the most is our kids...they aren't privvy to any of this, and although I want to GAL and detach, I want to be there for them, and I'm not sure how to balance it all.
I want to think that's where her fog will be lifted...if this ever gets to the point where we talk to the kids, they will shatter her visions of how "fine" they will be. She has no idea, but I do, because I've lived it.
