Any time man..You will do well. Do your kids first, then you, try to chill out, see what happens. You cannot force the issue. You try: You are D. O. A. Know this: I KNOW how you feel. Oh, trust me on this. There are days and nights of hell. Yet....Keep in mind: You have two kids. I have chosen the path where I do not have any. I like kids, as long as they go home later: Two nieces, one nephew. Point is: You have to be there for them. The world is insane these days, and kids need BOTH parents. You and your ex have a common denominator: Your kids. That, right there, keeps you in the game. I do not know what drove you apart (sorry, lot out there right now) and cannot tell you what to do. BUT>>>> I can tell you what NOT to do, and I've covered this. DO NOT fight. I cannot say this enough. Be a good father, which I'm sure you are, change the stuff that turned her off, yet still be a MAN. My problem was my temper and I was 'controlling' I agree and disagree with her opinion. My absolute fatal mistake was that I turned into too much of a wuss: I over-compensated. Understand?
