The first indication that things may be turning was on pg 48. She wanted to talk to me after a couple of weeks of almost no communication. We had agreed to a single e-mail a day, but that was about it. But in our phone call she said the following:
Quote:
M: "So did you learn anything new today." <silence> W: "It hit me like a ton of bricks that I really miss my family. You know D5 is a very smart girl." M: "Yes she is." W: "Tonight she told me she was missing you. I told her that I could get you on the phone. She said that won't help, that she wanted you here. Then she told me that it was the worst day ever. D3 fell down and she was crying for daddy." ... W: "I am a piece of sh__, everything I touch gets ruined."
I have talked to a mutual friend and W was afraid that she had lost everything at that point. She thought I was extremly angry. It was not reality, but it was her perception.
Finally, I will say you should not emulate me. I made plenty of mistakes during the ordeal. I am still making mistakes. I think I am hit daily with the 2x4. If I am a model of anything, I think I proved that we can make mistakes and still recover
