LW, this was such a great update. What we fail to realize in the thick of things is that our failed MR is just one facet of our life not working out well, there are so many other blessings in all our lives. Your S is doing so well, your support for him is giving him the endurance to push through this and you are drawing your strength in his love for you. How much time is he spending with this mom these days? Does he go live with her on a regular basis? Hope things shine brighter in your life and all your troubles go away some day.
