Honesty is best and I always said a positive word about their dad-he was a good man- just got sick in MLC..no ones fault ect
The thing is, Peace, is that I don't know if he if I could say he is just "sick". Maybe it's just a character flaw. After all, he was unfaithful to me for most of our married life, at least 3/4 of it.....in some form or another. Yes, we had lots of good things about our marriage - when he was engaged in it. I do believe, however, that he was profoundly damaged by his adoption into an emotionally vacant home. But, saying he if "going through a MLC" or "he's just so depressed" seems like a lie to me. I've been using the words depressed when they ask me about him (which I truly believe he is). At this point it's hard to come up with anything positive about him. He does the lawn every week, and he continues to provide for me financially. That's about it. It's so sad.
But I agree that honestly answering direct questions is the way to go. I will let the kiddos lead any further discussions.
But to answer your first question. I'm doing quite well! I've got lots of activities, friends, and purpose. My faith has been a tremendous help, too. All in all....
