Hang in there and keep working on yourself. Keep GAL'ing and stay strong for your kids...you sound like the rock that they'll bee needing when mom's world turns very weird soon. I get the feeling something good is going to happen for you in a big way. Did for me!
I'm coming up on a year since "the bomb"...my "liberation" so to speak. Friends and family are amazed at my transformation and how well I've taken it all. For me it was sobriety, weight loss, and getting back to the real me from the inside out. It's all paid off and my kid really notices...she compliments me all the time and that feels good.
Sounds corny, but time is the best healer. I still think about my ex every day, but now I don't get that "pang" in my gut...I feel nothing for her, neither love nor hate. Just apathy. I never talk about her w/DD, period. If DD brings her up, I just nod. I did have DD send her a birthday card and remind her to call her mom on ex's b-day; that's just common courtesy.
In time you will see how this whole sitch has made you a better man, a better father, and you'll find another love. Everything happens for a reason, Grasshopper.
