I can tell you I was an awful Dad when this started. I was so caught up in me and wanting what I wanted when I wanted it I wasn't a good father, at all.
One of the hard things about all this is the "baby steps". What I would have considered huge a few months ago now sometimes seems like nothing, if that makes sense. The feeling doesn't last long because I remind myself that at the very least we don't seem to be going backwards.
