Reread your early posts. I was very moved by your suffering from the absences from your older children's lives. How is that going now? I saw a good amount of guilt and anxiety posted by you about that - try to just be in the moment with them if you get the chance. The kids will do the rest of the repairing work. Just be there, express your love, and reassure about your love for them. Go back in time to the absences only if your kids need a question answered, then get back to the present. You sound like a wonderful mother and a strong woman - your children are blessed to have you in their lives.
Yep, the LBS definitely show less anger. I do have to watch out for the slow, hidden growth of resentment and judgmentalness about WAW's choices and their consequences. GAL work does very well here.
I don't know about other R's - time will tell I guess. My sitch is rather new - only 5 months (never thought I'd think that about being away from my family for nearly half a year). After 11 years together, 9.5 married, there is much to work with, so this will take time.
Hope your having a good day. By the way, how many hours ahead are you in GB? Its 7:30 am here on the US East coast.
