How to start from scratch in 12 Mos Separation ?

[SingleDad]

Faith - I agree wholeheartedly that her first reaction would be anger and hatred. I do not know that would be the case years from now.

Except the week after the bomb, I have never contacted her family to let them know how I really felt. I thought it of utmost importance for them to know that it is not me wanting the divorce and that they know I did everything I could to save the marriage.

I want my daughter to know that as well.

And I want to know in my heart that I did everything I could.

I have held my thoughts inside me (and with my W) for the past 11 months - I felt the need to express my deep feelings to her family.

Now that I have, I am comforted. I am relieved. I can rest. Knowing they know my truth.

I will still keep a thread of hope alive in me for months to come (until the D is final)... but now I can go back to BDing and GALing.
