And I see an assignment that my son did in school last year that I have taped to the door of a filing cabinet.
It has his name across the top and it titled "my dad". The text (verbatim except for my name) is:
"My dad's name is xxxx. He is not mean. He tret's me like a king I try to do the same thing. so he heps me larn and play. He love me and I love him. He is always there for me. and I'm there for him I love my dad."
I am going to put this in a safe place and pull it out when we start butting heads in his teenage years.

It sounds like your son realizes your love for him...that's a great accomplishment.
Staying married to keep the family intact for a child, or children, can be a questionable proposition. But, I did it, and from some of my own children s more recent comments regarding their childhoods, staying was better for them than leaving...at least until things really fell apart.
Sunny - Thanks for sharing your situation. I know, in my head, that there is no one best answer to this question. I also know, in my gut, that this is what is best for him, right now.
That's really adorable.
And you're right - no one knows better than yourself.
