This is fabulous advice and I will tell them as prescribed. THANK YOU. I think they will probably follow up with asking if we are getting divorced. Eldest have been through it so they know. Thoughts on that? Also, for OneArt and those who have survived for so long; did you ever feel as that though your spouse has been in MLC mode and separated from you so long that you do not see how they can want to come back because they have become accustomed to life without you? How do you rationalize them coming back and actually being able to connect with you again? I see this window fading from me over time.
