*hugs* to Talia... and thank you for sharing your story with us...I had wondered what had happened to subwife. I'm so glad to know that you've been here all along, and that now you are able to find happiness with Aesop and Silke.
I agree with Dawg in that I sincerely hope you are able to see your children...and that they have not been unduly hurt by all of this.
I wish you continued happiness, and welcome (back?) *grin*
