I'm so glad to hear you had time w/ your boy. I know it has been hard on you, as I miss my D when she's away, but you especially have had it rough. I'm so happy for you. It doesn't make it any easier, but it is so wonderful to spend whatever time we can w/ our children.
I'm never going to waver on my belief that D needs me in her life as much as possible. Any child needs both parents. Period. If my W can't see that, then she's more blind than I originally believed. As with your W, I strongly feel W's "possession play" of D has more to do w/ control and payback then it has to do w/ what is best for D.
I know D will see what I've done in the long run. It is going to be tough to get there, but she'll see me and always know me for who I really am.
I'm going to continue to hope that more days w/ your S will be coming in the very near future.
