Beautiful work, lady, beautiful work!
As hard as it is, I have found that involving the kids just makes them resent everyone.
They *wanted* the mayburry life and don't want reminders that it wasn't so.
They want to forge their own relationships - good or bad - and they will do this no matter what.
But they will always, and I *do* mean always come back to the person who remained above the fray, who didn't put them in the middle.
And you will love yourself more for allowing them to grow.
