Most of my happy memories pre-dates kids. The older she got the more selfish she got. Maybe she got overwhelmed with the kids and couldn't manage everything I don't know. I was and am a very involved father though so it wasn't like she was a stay at home mom or a single mother working trying to provide. I did just as much as she did so who knows.
Thanks K....so far so good. Just taking 1 day at a time and I am realizing that having similar lifestyles is crucial.
