The high road sucks but you get less shit on your shoes random thoughts Send a noteboard - 25/03/2010 05:46:33 PM
I don’t know enough about your situation to give in meaningful advice but I will say there is a fine line between the high road and the sucker’s road. I spent 16 years with an ex-wife that was not above using my kids to get what she wanted. I had to a walk a fine line between doing what was right for more boys, setting a good example for them and not letting her steamroll me. It isn’t easy and there is no way to take emotions out of the decision making process. You can only do your best and try and learn from your mistakes.

I know we have not always seen eye to eye but I have been through a similar situation before and I have some idea how insane and impotent the entire thing can make you feel and I wish the best of luck. All you can do is hold on tight, ride it out and come out the other side as intact as possible. I know for me it didn’t turn out the way I wanted but I do have to strong sons whose life I was able to always be part of and I for the rest I have moved on a long time ago.
