This was always a concern of mine too with my H, but people quickly reminded me that it was not all about me. If H could get help and be a better dad and role model, that even if we don't work out, it still wasn't a waste of my time. That's why i continue to encourage his progress and support him in the hopes we can reconcile, but also knowing that if not, I am still doing something to help better S's life. Something to keep in mind if you start to feel resentful about it.

Overall, really great talk. It sounds like you were both able to get your feelings out in an open and loving way. Hoping for more good progress! It will be interesting to find out how his abusive spouse talk goes this weekend.
