Ready, I want to say two things to you right now.....first, WOW, you sound so strong and put together. Look how far you have come and how much you have grown. I think it is so important to journal so that we can look back and see the path that we were on compared to the path we are now on. Second, I want to talk to you about the control issue your wife has with you. My IC gave me some great advise (hope she would , I pay her enough, hehe). Anyway, she told me a story about a woman who always complained that her ex-H did not spend enough time w his kids. When he finally stepped up to the plate and started to spend alot of time w his kids, she started to complain that he was spending too much time with them. If you start to thank her for making diner for the kids, it is going to backfire on her and she will change her strategy and you will get to spend this quality time with them. Just a suggestion. Its kind of like judo, you use their energy to help you fight your fight. Hope it makes since. You are doing great and kudos to you for getting to have 2 great days with your kids!
