FIB, I have a few Lous. Sluggers in the garage that I will let you hit me with. You are absolutely right that this conversation does not work. I new it before I even opened my mouth. I should have just said "Yes you are probably right" and then left it at that. But no....I have to try and interject logic(as I view it)into the conversation and insure that the conversation goes down hill.

And finally...you MUST stay strong for your girls. One of the 2 of you MUST be the stable strong one. We already spoke of this Em, but ...those 2 girls of yours are going to choose men based on YOU. Get that book. Be the man you want your gals to marry some day.
They are the owns that keep me going. I enjoy every minute that I get with them. If it is us going out camping, hanging with friends, firework shows, movies, or if we are just hanging out around the house I try to show them that I will always love them and be there for them. You are right in time they will know that I did all I could to keep this family together and it was their mom that ran away from problems instead of facing them. That is not to say that I am perfect and did not contribute to this sitch. It is just that I am the only one in this M that wants this to workout.

Stay strong. Keep up the MC. Listen. Validate. Don't defend or fight. Think hard and long before responding.
Like you, I need to keep saying these to myself. Not doing these things only hurts my R or whats left of it.
