Rider,

I don't know that there is really anything to add to Bworl's post. He said it all and said it beautifully.

As a mom I simply CANNOT FATHOM walking away from my girls. Even if I could bring myself to do it I would HAVE to have contact with them, no question. My opinion, your wife has had to go off the deep end to treat your D's the way she has. I am SO sorry for you and your girls!! It sounds like you are doing a wonderful job of taking care of them. That is what they truly need right now, to know they are loved and valued. YOU are doing that. They will always remember this time and the love and support you have given them. You will be (probably are already) their hero.

Wishing you peace and joy!
