Thanks for your thoughts DnJ, they're helpful & the added sentence was definitely along the line I was thinking. I'm in virtually no contact other than absolute necessity around the kids (probably x2 text in past 6 weeks). I don't want to encourage more dialogue with him but want to do the fair thing.

I'm sorry about your W. I know you're detached and have moved on emotionally. It's hard to comprehend the person you lived & married is the same person & you just feel for your children. You're definitely someone to aspire to though & thank goodness your children have had you around. You've helped me enormously since February. Thank you
