How to start from scratch in 12 Mos Separation ?

[SingleDad]

Thanks Brian for the support - true I need to stop thinking of my timeline. I do not think I am yet doing as much as I could be doing to make myself appealing to other people, but I am working on bettering myself.

There is a picture of my daughter with a whip cream mustache - like she has on shaving cream, which was taken by her daycare. I asked my W for the picture as it means a lot to me. She offered to give it to me.

I think my W is beginning to see just how important my daughter is to me - how much I want my daughter in my life... That I am doing so much to be sure she has good clothes, toys and has lots of fun with me, and I am being a responsible parent with her. On Monday, my W told me my daughter asked to "go to daddy's house" - I think that is why my W hung around my house for 30 minutes rather than the typical 10 seconds.

I think I am seeing subtle changes in W - very subtle, after a couple months of my new approach. It is making our interactions certainly more bearable... I am hopeful that they can lead to some joint activities a couple times a month or so.
