Happy Father's Day to all the amazing dads on here!!!
Last Father's Day was rough on all of us. H was knee deep in an affair I didn't know about. He was angry and distant, I was grasping and reaching. I feel SO much better this year, about myself, about life in general. Time is a healer.

Hope everyone has a great day!
Thanks, lwb. For me, this year brings the opposite remembrances: it is my WIFE who was in the midst of her affair at this time last year. It was a very emotional Father's Day for me last year, as in some ways it was awful and sad, but in other ways, I felt especially close to my children and they made obvious efforts to make me feel loved on that day.
Mother's Day, Father's Day, Anniversaries, Birthdays, Holidays --- celebrations of families that are shattered or don't exist. I hope we can all reconstruct these days into times of celebration again, rather than reminders of what is gone.

This is easier when time helps us heal. This summer is full of triggers for me, but they are getting easier to deal with, easier to make better memories for myself.
I know I couldn't do this without my kids. Well, I could, but boy do they keep me going. I have learned to cherish them even more so since this has happened.
