Just wanted to say H and I have been separated since Dec 2007 and we still haven't sorted our crap out. Sorry to say, but four months is nothing when your wife feels that you were abusive. As for your daughter, I haven't gotten to that age yet (my is is almost 8), so I can't comment there.

Gotta run



Hi Purple.

Whaddaya do? I'm an ER nurse...been doing it for 23 years.

Wow! That's a long separation! I would rather stay separated though, than get divorced. I was verbally and emotionally abusive. I was such a mean prick. I was so wrong, and lost the best thing that ever happened to me as a result of it. I know 4 months is not a very long time under the circumstances. It feels like a long time though! Aliveandkicking has been giving me some good advice about my daughter. She was so much easier at 8 y/o! Hope you have a good shift at work. Thank you for your help so far.
