[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 622327, member: 17461"] Janet, when I first responded to Strength and Echo and Recovering this morning, it turned out my post was too many words (!) so I had to trim it way back before I could post it. As I was responding though, I began remembering the gorier details of the times we have helped the kids. That whatever we have done for the kids, however many times...somehow, things happen that could never be predicted. Weird things, things that you cannot believe even happened. Maybe because the kids are difficult child kids? I don't know, Janet. But all at once, I started to see husband's determination not to be put in that position in his own home ever again in a different way. Maybe Janet, our husbands are protecting us in spite of ourselves. It probably would have been easier for them to just up and leave...but they didn't. It could be that our husbands are standing their ground and protecting their wives. We can't even see it though. The only thing we can see clearly is that our kids are in trouble or in danger. I am thinking about that. Whenever husband gets me away from the kids for awhile, I do start to feel better. More like a person. And now that I think about it? He's taken me away from the kids alot. I only began thinking this way this morning, so it's all pretty new to me. But I know you your husband have moved away from the kids. You have your own place to be and create a home of your own now, without anyone there but yourselves and those guests [U]you[/U] choose. I think that, like it is for me and my husband, your and Tony's relationship will begin taking on its own special feeling, again. I see that all around me down here, where no one has their kids with them, now that I think about it. You just start having fun together doing the most mundane things.... Cedar Oh, brother. I wonder whether I will have to admit this new insight to husband? If you see it that way (and add my crazy family :O) husband has behaved extraordinarily. All by himself, taking flak from every side. Well, huh. [/QUOTE]
