Good to hear from you and glad things are going well for the most part.
I love the tradition you've started by going to Key West with friends over wedding anniversary / BD. Not sure if it's intentional or not, but think you should continue it.
How did you feel about the D finalizing? I bet there were some mixed emotions...grief and relief? Good news you got your key items (house, business & farm).
Well done on the exercise, reading, and GAL....keep it up!

Good question. I'm just not feeling it yet, need to heal a bit more and continue to grow as a person before I head down that road. May be a bit of fear as well. Some of the bad experiences that other posters have shared lead me to be a bit cautious. I'll get there.
Always appreciate your candidness LH. I know I haven't asked for much advice in my sitch, but I read what you post to others and know you come from a good place. Keep it up.

Great answer!
Well done by S21 and as for S23...not sure if you've followed ScottB in Newcomers but he's been doing all sorts of incredible trips for GAL turned me onto a book called Die With Zero: Getting All You Can from Your Money and Your Life by Bill Perkins. Interesting read; it would back up his decision to go explore while he's young. Maybe add it to your list. of books
In terms of XW, two things...
First, I feel mostly bad for your son's and the impact this is having on their relationship with their mother (or lack there of). Not that your struggle isn't important, but the kids seem even more wronged than a spouse...if that makes sense. I only mean in my sitch I can understand if the marriage is working or blaming the spouse for all your problems, but abandoning the kids seems extra harsh.
