I have walked the fire and been there. I know where you both are. It's very difficult. You see the little things that give you hope but know that you can't let your hopes get too high.
Me-D will be the best for both STBX and I. I do believe my only purpose in this M was to bring my D into the world. It served two-three purposes...first,it gave my STBX a child she so desperatly wanted. 2nd, it gave me a chance to be a better dad than I was the first time around..3rd-it brought me here and without here I would have never changed.
You guys are doing good. I'm very proud of you both. You should pat yourselves on the back..you both are a lot stonger now than when you first got here..
