Please, folks, I need no sympathy, although I appreciate your kind words...
My life has been irrevocably changed by my WAW - she has taken my marriage and my wife and, in return, given me a beautiful life, through pain and self-searching and blessings from God!
I'm ready to be unmarried. No desire for a relationship, God fulfills me, and I'm having too much fun with my kids. It's amazing to me that I have found such peace, joy, and happiness.
I have re-discovered my family and extended family, found many new friends that care deeply for me, and am madly in love with my kids.
There are less than happy moments - my kids still desperately ask for ways for us to get back together, but from what I've heard, that's going to happen the rest of our lives - seems pretty normal.
Anyway, either of my children will testify that I have never spoken unkindly about their mother, they know I love her, and they have seen this handled with dignity and grace. I am fine with being mostly both parents to them, and I couldn't be happier about it.
Now, I'm excited to open the newest chapter of my life - I am open to guidance and suggestions on infusing my children's life with happiness.
I'll start journaling in the next couple of days - I want to look back on this, and remember where and who I was...
