Expat,
Welcome. Whatever you decide, I wish you well. I was divorced but forced into it. My son was 13 years old at the time. Nobody
wins when marriage fails, in my opinion. I've been remarried for
a long time. I love my 2nd husband. The only advice I have is, don't do anything too fast. Think things through. Cherish your friendships. Di is level headed; hold tight to her warmth and caring. May the Good Lord watch over you and yours.

Di,
Moral support during times of trouble, is worth more than
gold. If just one person believes in you, you can get
through almost anything. Friendship is a precious commodity! True friends, real friends are a source to be
cherished. And right you are: There is nothing good about
a controlling personality.
