Kevin, At the risk of repeating myself - when I stood up to my wife, and told her that my kids came first, and stopped letting whether she was angry or not guide what I did, things started changing.
We are not back together - but things are getting rough with OM, and she is treating me with AMAZING respect. I am prepared to file divorce this week if I must, and I will do it - because I and my kids need closure, and I need to be an example to them.
I never understood you leaving to go down there either - even though I know that you can stay with your parents. If it were me, I'd work at McDonalds, and get food stamps to make ends meet to be with my kids.
I appreciate what you're doing, and I know how you feel, but when you are "free" from your wife, it is unbelievable.
I still love my wife, and she can still do/say things that hurt, and the whole situation hurts, but I am FREE.
