No I haven't heard from her at all. Hopefully she's taking a break and having a litte fun. It's not really like her to not touch base though, a little concerned.
The kids and I had a great time. I have to say that even with all the garbage that has went on, they are so well behaved. I do still notice how this effects my daughter, I am trying my best to be there for the both of them and do a little extra.
I had the chance to fish in a tournament on Saturday. My partner and I won. I needed the money in a bad way too. It was good motivation. We fished are arses off and took home some cash.
WTG trapt.....still trying to follow along. The future is bright. FIB

What I thought we had in some ways we never did. Dont get me wrong. I'm not in anyway saying it was bad, it just wasn't what I thought. It's like there always had been something missing on a deep level. I noticed this throughout, however I accepted our differences and loved her for who she is. I always felt like I had more invested and a little something was missing, but she was and still is a good person. She just has issues that she never asked for or deserved.
I just saw this and I apologize if it is late, but, I think this is KEY to most of us here. I think we all chose people for whatever need, issue, feeling of love we had...but....I'm not sure we had what WE THOUGHT we had. In looking back...like you...without being bitter...I think there was a huge chasm between my wife and I. Perhaps....as sort of a weird twist to the movie..we were walking on that bridge we saw in Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade...that invisible bridge over the bottomless canyon. We thought we saw a bridge when there was none. Perhaps, we THOUGHT we knew what love was but our perception was wrong.
I've posted on others thread's what David Cunningham once told me...that, at the time, we were functioning with the only tools we had at the time and that this should be looked at as a lesson and not a failure. That if you continue to look back and see this as failure, then you WILL fail.
So, trapt....lift yourself and keep looking forward.

More emails today regarding school, which has to be done I guess. Lucky for me she scheduled a meeting time right during an appointment that I have. So I will be going separate.
Kerry,
You were right, I fear ex wives are forever and I can't get that damn song out of my head either.
Hey T, yay for you that you won your fishing contest! And you seem like a great father. Keep making memories with them. I have wonderful ones of me and my father.
