I hear that man. When I get the chance, my W and S will see that I'm dead serious about making sure the events of the last 3 years never happen again. They never feel neglected, they never have angry husband or dad. I'm not that guy anymore! I'm the guy I'm supposed to be and they need to see that all the time.

My S has been having a great time with me. He does mention he wishes mom was with us, and I just say, "It's OK, we'll have a great time anyway" and he's fine. He is only 4.

As your S sees more of your love for him, it'll transfer to your W. She wants assurances that you'll be a great dad. When she sees that, she'll be able to trust you more, and open herself up to you more. She also doesn't want your family to break up because she knows it's not good for you 2 or your S.

We can talk ourselves into defeat or we can talk ourselves into victory - we are creatures of our thinking.
