One sprayer is a small price to pay for a healthy body and a clear mind. I'm just happy you found your way thru. Life can be difficult at best when we're health, but down right disastrous when we're struggling with some underlying health issues. Everything else is small potatoes, and we don't sweat over the small potatoes.

My exodus was liberating, the wisest move of my life. No regrets, that toxicity was deep and dark, the shit she did was criminal by very strict standards, and he was willing to sacrifice children for the appearance of normality. I'm happier and healthier without it or them. I'm also proud I was able to protect my younger siblings, but it required a commitment, that I honor to this day. (More like 45 years ago, emancipation at 15, but I was living on the street long before, this just gave me majority / legal status. The last thing I needed from them, and one of the few things they gave.)

Granted I don't really know you, haven't looked into your eyes, seen you at your best or worst, but what I do know of you is, you're open and honest, intelligent and compassionate, a hard worker and a proud patriots, you're quick to defend the defenseless, you love children and animals. Unless you are a closet case mass murderess, heroin addict or a psychopathic lier that's created this false presonia on line, I just can't imagine what justification was determined to alienate your children from you.

With your strong response to CPS, I imagine there's a story there.

Nothing good can be claimed by destroying one person in order to control another. Sounds like that's what your parents did, using your children to try to control you not only messed up your relationship with your children, but it messed up your children's relationship with you and subsequent their relationship with the world. How they perceive and process future relationship both casual and intimate are mostly based on the the lessons learned at home. They got a double dose of screwy, but I'm betting you make smart babies.

I hope your Son finds his own way home. It will be a defining moment of evolution for him when he does, if he and your daughter share a healthy close relationship and she sees past all the bullshit, he may be half way there already.

In my very very humble opinion, if you know in your heart and head that you are right, (and it sounds to me like you are) you should never compromise your values or principles for temporary pleasures or gain.

Views from the outside, for what they're worth...

Your knee must be doing better, and your four legged furry friend probably smells like a wet shaggy dog, though I'm certain he thinks he's just a hairy member of the human pack...:-)

Bee well Baby Bee.

Ps. I know where some free toe soaking streams are.
