Thanks for the encouragement. I think I'm doing better, but better doesn't mean easy by any stretch. It is still difficult, but I'm improving at not talking as much and listening more in those rare times when she does want to talk. I'm also doing a much better job at not firing off responses to her ranting, raving e-mails. In fact, I'm now able to keep myself from answering until the next day in many cases which has helped me to detach tremendously.
I also agree that if I can stay on this path it will help me become a better man and father in the long run regardless of what happens b/t W and I. I am learning and growing and it is painful at times, but very effective most of the time.
Thank you again for your support and encouragement. I really do appreciate it.
