Thanks, Fightin4mywife. Not going to bring god into this. I made my mess, it's up to me to do the work I should have done long ago.
It sucks not being w/ my kids. But through email, texting and phone I'm a better, happier parent to them than I was before. I'm learning patience with them that I wish I had. I'm learning to listen to my W, even if she's telling me how wrong I am or how it won't work out. I'm working on rebuilding the life I deprived myself (and my family). I'm learning to be kinder, more social, giving and focused. I'm learning how painful my anger has been to my W and kids... and to me.
Hopefully, I can bring this back to my M.
