BL42, thank you again for replying to my initial posting. I read up on your tread, and it sounds like you have been put through the wringer but have taken advantage of this 'gift' and are coming out on top. You still have littles (mine is a tween), so fun! What an excellent decision to dedicate yourself to raising your kids. It's a gift to them, but also for you as they do grow up so fast and, time with them, you can never get back. While thinking about how fast my son has grown up, I have a difficult time understanding why anyone would break up a family and, as a consequence, choose less time with their kid(s). But, we are human, we are flawed and make mistakes. Inspired by you, I am going to focus on my son and myself for the time being, I too want to be less distracted by R an M stuff. All the best!
