They can't heal if we are around, and that means talking on the phone and even texting too! Try to not get too discouraged...I know that's hard. They have to detatch from us so they can begin to process the TONS of emotions that they have to deal with. It ain't over, man! Stay committed to your wife and your marriage...if you really feel that way. It's not being naive either...it's being committed. You're separated...you're not divorced! We don't have any communication except that regarding the kids. We don't even physically 'see' each other. Patience, patience, and then some more patience. We have to work on ourselves first and foremost...learn to be better men, fathers, and husbands...regardless! This we MUST do!
"Always go straight forward, and if you meet the devil, cut him in two and go between the pieces." - William Sturgis, clipper ship captain, 1830's.
