And no, I didn't conscientiously decide to "avoid the pain", I was trying to prevent pain for our daughter and thought it was the right thing at the time. A week ago someone said not to move out, it's way more difficult to get back in. At the time I told myself to not forget that; unfortunately, I did. Now I don't know that I can go back to the house, wifes parents have offered to let me stay at their empty house, wife thinks coming back will be bad for daughter, wife doesn't want me back, I'm just a mess over here.
