Made it past another major holiday without spilling the beans to In-laws about this whole experience. I could not tell you how much I wanted to say "hey if this doesn't work out with your D, I will bring the kids by once a year to see you". That should of opened up the discussion at the dinner table yesterday. I controlled my self and the story, as we know it, continues.

What is really burning my shorts right now is how W is making plans for the family, long-term, yet seems to be putting very little into improving our sitch. The wall is up and not coming down any time soon. If she would put as much into me as she does into just about any other endevor, we would be doing fine.
