I won't be here for the time being. My husband and I have
separated, and I can't bring myself to deal with stepparenting
issues at all right now. Hell, if I could, I wouldn't have
gotten separated.

Several people I mentioned this to by email seemed surprised.
It made me think. I guess I didn't post all that often about
what was going wrong in my house. I never had to. Someone else
always seemed to have the same problem.

In case I haven't made it clear over time, you have all been a
tremendous help to me over the years. Discussing issues and
hammering things out has taught me so much. So much that we
deal with here applies to myriad situations, I don't feel that
any of the wisdom you have shared with me has been wasted. I'll
just be applying it in slightly different contexts now.

Bye for now,
jane

P.S. I have to say that BD's father turned up trumps over this
one. She found out that we were separating while she was with
her father. He really did a great job of being supportive and
reassuring.

I'm very sorry to hear your news. I wish you all the best. People told me
I was lucky that I didn't have kids during the bad times in my marriage.
Kids or no kids, the possible dissolution of one's marriage is a hard &
sometimes brutal thing to deal with.

Remember to turn to your family & friends. They have been fretting &
worrying about you for a long time, not knowing what to do or say. They've
stayed on the outside looking in out of respect for you. Talk to the them
now... they have so much love to give you if you'll let them.

Take care of yourself. I wish you strength.
