I feel your pain and hope you will find many hidden blessings that aren't visible yet. I have no flowery words to offer, as we all walk with our demons and crosses and so often people will allow them to come between themselves and those they love.

Being apart doesn't make us less of a family.

The children are doing pretty good, as good as can be in a separation. B is hanging out with them tonnes.

I note that despite your hurt and frustration you can still take it upon yourself to treasure the bonds while edifying him where it is deserving. Thank you, the display of dignity and love is warming. I will pray for him that he can face this demon and best its seduction of his soul.
