Piecing together, or not?

Wow, interesting post. Will require thought. I'm eager to see what kind of responses you get. But, I'm glad to see someone else is thinking these things. The goal is to do the right thing for you, for S, for kids - hopefully one answer can satisfy all. But how to know what is right, or even what is satisfying? I've told my W that I don't want our old M back - it was broke anyway and can't be put back together. An intact family may be paramount for kids. I don't know. Tough problem J.
