I can't help but feel sad when reading your last post. It seems you have poured so much into this and still not been able to change the outcome? Maybe it's for the best? I feel too like my W is going thru the same emotions as your H. She had a not so good R with her Mom, we married young, kids, work, stress and now it seems like they just can't be happy with who they are?
You are a great person Betsey and God knows you have tried to fight the good fight and based on the advice you once gave me I hope that at least you guys can and will be good friends for the girls sake.
That's how I am looking at it, can't make someone love us, even someone who once did? I wish you peace and comfort Bets, you deserve to be happy and we both deserve someone who can show us the kind of love we need in return.
Take care and " live in the now" girl, you know full well something will change anyhow.
