Here are some of my thoughts. I am sure you have heard this before, but.......
I was given a great opportunity for personal growth when my W said she was done. I grabbed that opportunity. I have grown from a boy to a man over the past 15 months. My relationship with my children is SOOOO much better now. All my relationships are better. This process has taught me patience, forgiveness,understanding,compassion,listening,kindness,strength. I am in touch with my feelings. The books I have read are listed on the first post of my thread. I don't NEED anyone else to be happy. I enjoy all the people I come in contact with. I have met some incredible people here on this site as well as in the normal world. I DB my ass of with others so that when I interact with W, it is natural and part of me. I still have a long way to go, but I am continually making positive changes in my life. I always do my best, I don't take other peoples garbage as my own. I let W keep her garbage. I could go on and on.....
Pass out what you want to recieve If you love something, set it free....
Balance: (Fun/work/sleep/exercise) (Time alone/ time with others) (Planning/Doing)
TRYING to do something does not work. TRY to stand up. Now just stand up. Set goals to DO IT.
I will not call W unless the kids have been hurt and need medical attention.
I will go out and meet 1 new person a day. I will smile to all those I come in contact with. I will listen to others. They are interesting. I will eat oatmeal for breakfast. I will be the best father I can be. I will read one new self help book a week.
