Yuk, bad memories on that one Bill. I remember reaching a point where I had to tell my ex that we would never be friends. FriendLY maybe, but never friends. Friends do not do what many of our spouses have done in their rush to be free.
As for you, if you can just continue on the path you are on now, I predict that you will be great in the end.
It absolutely IS a great feeling to realize that you CAN have a good and happy life on your own. It's also good, perhaps especially as a man, to realize that you CAN be a Dad who can do everything that needs done to care and nurture your kids.
It's an awesome feeling and terrific place to be.
As for the rest? Let time take care of that. I don't hear you slamming shut doors. But I do hear you saying "enough for now." And there is not a thing wrong with that.
Press on.....with strength and honor.
Blessings,
Bill
