I want to also point out that what AS usually says (LBS goes to fog, puts on the rose-tinted glasses at BD and forgets all the bad things) is certainly true. Now that I'm feeling quite detached from everything else than my ego being hurt by OM being around my kids etc already, I can totally remember being unhappy and even thinking sometimes how my life would be alone - with seeing some good things in it! I just never understood we have tools for working out the issues like what I had and quite accepted it as "such is life". Now I don't think you feel this way, but just to add to LH19s comment The most important thing is the growth, however. We learn to know what we really want. You really seem to be doing fine and you are a kickass daddy for your Ds! Keep it up
