I have an attorney, as far as what constitutes 'good', I'm not sure. He seems reasonable and wants to put the best interests of the kids first and foremost, so that seems good to me.
Corri, I hear what you are saying. I'm trying not to be naive while at the same time not making this bigger than it has to be. I feel that I've done what I can do to save my M and this is where I'm at right now, so if you have things you'd like to say or advice you'd like to offer that fits where I am at this point, then please do so. There are people on these boards who are at all stages of the marriage life cycle (that's almost funny isn't it?) and I need support and thoughts from people who've walked the path before me. If you feel this isn't the proper forum for that kind of advice, then please email me.
Cobra, can you expand some on your comments?
I'll post a little later on what I see for options at this point and what I think the pros and cons are of each option. That will help me sort out my thoughts and maybe I can get some feedback. If I tell you guys my goals, then you can help me stay on track and not get angered or sidetracked by the distraction of the moment.
I hope everyone had a nice Christmas. Considering everything, mine was pretty good as long as I didn't start thinking "this is the last X-mas we'll spend together....". I've been pretty good at thought stopping that stuff because I know I've done all I can. So, I tried to just focus on the kids and let my mind be numb for everything else.
