My goal for my hard work was only to make sure my daughter had a good birthday party, which she did indeed have. My sitch came off life support several weeks back and we had made some substantial progress dealing with the SSM issues. Seems we're having a relapse now though. Despite all the "research" time here on the message board and reading the SSM book, I still find myself feeling the same old thoughts from being rejected. And like Sooner, today I don't feel like being the "nice guy" and the negative behaviors have returned.

I am a walking contradiction. Today I'm not following my own mantra - see my new "signature" below.

The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.
