Mitzi,<P>Hi I read your new profile on Jim's role call. <P>You and I have much in common it seems. We have been going through much of this at the same length of time, both H's live with OW, wondering have your kids been exposed to OW or any talk of it? <P>If you ever want to chat privately, please email me at MrsDMBrown@mail.com<P>I will still follow all your posts on this site. I guess you had a rough xmas too. Just like me. I look back now and wonder how I survived. <P>I am here if you want to talk.

lonely mom,<BR>I've been following your posts too. It's just hard to reply to someone and try to offer advice when I need so much myself.<P>No my kids haven't been around the OW. And I believe I have enough evidence to keep her away from them. At least for a while. For now, my H hasn't even mentioned taking the kids around her. He's only with her 3 1/2 days a week himself since he works out of town.<P>Christmas was horrible. I honestly didn't think I'd get thru it. My kids are doing ok. They are confused but doing as well as can be expected. They told their father that they will not go around OW. <P>I'm trying to plan A but it's the hardest thing I've done in a long time. I tend to let my mouth run too much. <P>Honestly though, it does get better. I can't believe I'm actually saying that, but it does. If it wasn't for MB, I would have given up. My family and friends here think I would be nuts to let him come home so I don't tell them too much. I did speak to a friend today who is so understanding. Her parents went thru this a few years ago. They are doing great now and were separated for 6 months. She told me to call her anytime. Finally someone to talk to with out having to type. <P>Feel free to email me anytime. <P>mitzihartman@webtv.net<P>I'm online a lot now. <P>Take care,<BR>Mitzi
