Special thanks to delaceyk--I'm at the office (don't have WEB at home), and I had to choke back my tears in reading your wise, heartfelt words, especially "I am starting to see him not as a fool, a liar, untrustworthy and a weak man but as someone who had just lost his way over the years. Someone who had lost his footing and stumbled and the more he fell the more he got lost."
Thank you--I'm printing out your post and will keep it with me for inspiration.
