This is my biggest struggle, too. I hate that my kids are in pain. Tonight, D6 begged her daddy not to leave, but he did. After he left, D6 prayed for daddy to know that we love him and God loves him and we all want him to come home to God and us.
As a product of divorce, I know the long term repercussions that this will have on the kids. It is awful!

SMW, you would never believe what happened to me when I got off from work today..I go to visit my D2 today, and she tells W that she doesn't want to see daddy. D went on and on about it crying. It really torn me up inside. D just woke up and gets cranky. She never acts like that towards me though. Just earlier today,she wanted to see me badly. This is going to be a long journey.

must be cool having a two yr old. well the cool part would be just "having" her and admiring her as she grows and learns. taking care of her and all those nuances .. that is the challenge to be a great Dad ...I would imagine, though my experience at it was short-lived. tremendously rewarding though.
Indeed it will be a long journey. Just imagine though, you could be one of the many who attempt it while discarding all the Lord's help and constant strengthening. You are not though!
YEAH T! It is so much easier going through trials with Jesus than without. I honestly don't know where I would be without him.
Yesterday, I had a great day with my D2. I hugged and kissed her for a long time. It was such a great feelings. We take so much for granted until it is gone.
W tried to pressure me into signing an uncontested D paper by Fri. I told W that I didn't agree with it, and she would have to file a contested. I totally let W know that I wasn't holding her in a cage another more, and she was being set free. W's attitude completely changed..W started being nice to me because W knows she cheated on me. W knows that she has the possibility of me getting custody etc. It was great that I regained the respect and authority by just letting her go into God's hands. I feel so much better because the fear of D doesn't have control over me. I'm still believing for the impossible, but I have to take my focus off her.

Just be wary of her next moves, as she will grow increasingly desperate. PRAY FOR DISCERNMENT, and wisdom, DAILY. You will see some "crocodile tears" very soon, methinks.
Yeah PDT...W is getting desperate already. She is being extremely nice and trying to straighten her act up being a mom. You are right...I have to discern her motives. I have been hurt by W several times by letting my guard down and her bringing up the D when she can't fake any londer.
