Most definitely, children did keep me going when the going was tough! Thanks for the encouragement. I know it is tough when getting out from all directions. I was thinking, how was it difficult leaving as a couple? I would imagine it would be hard in some ways different from leaving as a single person? Did you have hard times adjusting to each other's views, decisions, indecision etc after leaving?
