I haven't signed my real name anymore because I don't know what the abilities of that search function are. Can it find a word that is imbedded in someone's post?

She found out because I told her. Stupid hunh?

BM did say she'd read it, but I really doubted it at the time. She had shown so little interest before. You can see all that on the previous thread. BigMouth even wrote a note for my wife to read..."dear Mrs Wes...yada yada" It was cute. Nice letter. My wife never did remark about it. She called immediately after reading my thread and said "I talked to a divorce attorney...I think we should get a divorce". So, obviously no more letting her read my thread. LOL

The kids are wonderful, thanks for asking. My oldest son is just doing great in swimming. Two 1st places and a second place at the state meet. Doing great in school too. My stepkids are adjusting okay to moving out. They do get to stay over night still, especially my SS8, but my SD11 does too on occasion. Our relationship is really good. I wish I would have figured that out sooner.

I haven't written on my book since my wife moved out. It's not because I'm moping around...it's solely from a lack of time (well this uses up some time, but it's very useful to me and I hope I can help others too). Between keeping up with housework, regular work, kids coming over, making dinner, etc....I find I have very little time for writing. I think I'll have some great stuff to put in the book though when I get back to it. I've actually been very happy, thank you for asking. The DB stuff has been great for me as a person. It just seems that trying to be outwardly happy eventually leads to being actually happy which leads to it being easier to be genuinely outwardly happy. If you get my drift. Anyway, I've followed your posts, but you don't put what's going on in your heart in there much. So are you doing well? Emotionally okay? I'm hoping so...

P.S. I tried the search for Wes and it comes up with so many hits that I don't think you'd ever find this thread that way.
