Wow Jo. I guess your case is just one of those where in order for the individuals in the couple to grow, they had to separate. I can't really comment how your H has grown, but WOW, you have made huge strides in your life. I only wish I could do that and I could get my XW back...it will take a long time and I have to be patient. It is pretty obvious that she is still confused and/or feeling guilty over leaving us in that she is not really consistently interacting with my sons as she said she would. Have a great weekend.
