So it has been a few more years since I have posted here. I have been working and raising my kids as best I can. My DD is a junior in college and got a scholarship in choir of all things. She is a very talented singer and musician. She aspires to be a high school music teacher and I am very proud of her. My DS is a senior in high school and has excelled academically to heights I never imagined. It’s looking like he will get a full ride to pretty much any school he chooses. Couldn’t be more proud. The ex and I have essentially been nothing more than business partners and nothing more. She has long since been over her midlife crisis and now she lives alone and just exists as far as I can tell. I wish the best for her and whatever she decides to do but I can’t have anything to do with her except for when dealing with the kids. My current wife and I have been married now for going on seven years! We are both looking forward to being empty nesters and moving out to the country. I truly thank everyone here for all the support throughout some of the toughest times in my life and encourage anyone that has found themselves in this horrible situation to read through others posts and learn from them that there is hope, there is life outside of the despair you may be feeling, and there are some amazing stories of rising above and beginning anew. Never give up and never give in.
