I can't say I didn't learn anything from my W's MLC.
My W and I are good friends and that's it. I learned how to validate not just her, but others who need to be heard. I like to listen to people's thoughts more than I did before. Also, there's a better understanding of God in my life. I had to learn how to pray and ask God what I really want. This is more than the list of memorized prays I would rattle off.
Every morning when I'm stuck in traffic, I thank God for being in my life. I thank him for D10 and for the chance to know him better.
After my W dropped the bomb I would drink to try and forget about the pain. Just recently I decided I've had enough of over indulging and thinking alcohol would help me forget.
I learned to go out to the movies by myself and not feel embarassed. I've gone out to dinner alone and enjoyed a meal.
Most of all I've been able to be a good dad to D10. My W will never get back the many days she missed with D10. For me I have many memories and so does D10.
