Richard, I can only imagine how stressful the thought of being estranged from your children must have been. I'm glad that didn't happen. Being alone in our sorrow without anyone to share it with is about as lonely and isolating as it gets, isn't it? I was profoundly lonely in my marriage.

I appreciate you confirming the value of community, and I'm delighted that you can see yourself more clearly seven years later. Thank you for reading and commenting.

Thanks. Loneliness in a relationship is lonelier than being alone.

Brilliantly said. I had this exact thought in my marriage. It's awful.
