Hey everybody, thanks for all the good vibes, and right back atcha.

The wife will realize, someday. Maybe even today. Maybe she realizes now. (shrug) It's one thing to know, and another thing to do something about it.

My kids are a little wary and worried, you know, with the no contact order. But none of that shows when we are together. And they text me at night sometimes, or send me email. Today I got an email from my ten year old saying "just saying hi, and I love you." and it was so sweet. And thursday I was text-chatting with my 11 yr old while he was in bed.

You know the story where the spouse sneaks conversations with the LBS, behind the OW's back? or behind the OM's back? Well this is sort of a weird twist on that - my kids are doing that now, to my wife. They are sneaking, communicating with me.

Good thing the government is "protecting them" from me.

This will pass though.

This weekend I am thinking about them, doing things for them, washing their clothes and tidying their rooms. I am looking forward to when I will see them next. No matter how much she pushes me away from them, no matter how hard it is on me, I will not abandon them. It isn't hard. It's my kids.
