[QUOTE="ScentofCedar, post: 168867, member: 3353"] Problems with the kids DOES take a toll, Sunny. Wondering whether one or the other of us has failed as a parent takes the shine off real quick. husband (whom you've met!) :) and I stayed together in spite of, not because of, the way we felt about each other for awhile, there. The only things that kept us slugging it out together during that time were the problems with the kids and the taking care of the grandchildren. Any time we did have an uninterrupted month or two ~ and believe me, there was a time when that was all we had, year after year ~ our lives had taken such separate paths that it was difficult to come back together on anything BUT the kids or the grandchildren. We made it through, Sunny. But it takes a long time to really feel it again. I think both husband and I are glad we stuck it out. I think there was a time when I was addicted to this site, too. This was the one place I could go where those I was interacting with understood, and it made all the difference in the world for me. I am not here as often as I used to be, either. Wishing you and yours well, Sunny. Barbara [/QUOTE]
