Thomas, what a beautiful letter. My husband, thankfully has "come back" We have a family of three even though it is different. I was determined, as upset I was, that my daughter (who had had a very good relationship with her father) maintain a relationship with him. That is going pretty well

What hurts me is how my siblings will have nothing to do with him (and this was a close 43 yr marriage) and his family has nothing to do with me. Its like they cant bear it, so they deny it. Great advice at the end. All good wishes to you,mmm
