My son was also 8 when marriage #1 broke up. You are right on target with your advice. Now I understand even more why you are working so hard on keeping things together with the current Mrs. HD. I sometimes wonder if my H figures he can behave how he wants to because he has evidence that it takes a hell of a lot to make me leave (12 years with a real piece of work). Does Mrs. HD figure that you are so loathe to leave that you will stay no matter the personal cost to you?
