Antlers- your W may or may not find a way to see you as someone other than "that guy" in your M. I think you are right to have hope and also, as much as you love her, you know she needs to feel safe and heal and that is what you do for her now, you make it safe.
Hey aliveandkicking.
Thanks for coming back. I appreciate your time, your effort, and your perspective.
Maybe right now, as Bridgestone said earlier, the most loving, consistent, and kind thing I can do for her is to continue to leave her alone and give her the space and time she needs...to feel safe and heal.
It's hard, because I feel like nothing is happening with 'us'. But it's all I can do right now, under the circumstances. It may be like this a long time...I don't know. I'll continue to work on me and be a good dad and a good man in the meantime.
"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.
