Bill - Thank you for your response. As usual you touch on key points that help me on this journey of growth and change that I am on.

So far I think I have handled this as the "new Eric". I had previously instructed my attn to be fair and resonable in any corespondance and interaction with my W attny. I will remain a gentlemen during this process. I am not planning on acting as the sacrifical lamb but will protect the interest of me and my kids. The one area where I will not budge is my desire to have my kids 50 pct of the time.

I will own my issues and role in the breakdown of my M. I will face the consequences whatever they are with dignity and class.

Right now I am very focused on healing and releasing my anger. I DO NOT want to carry the burden of self pity, anger and resentment with me for the rest of my life. I understand that this will take time to work out but I am ready.

Doing what is right will be the approach that I use. I need to make sure that whatever I do I do with Everyones (including my own) best interest at heart.

Right now I am also dealing with FEAR - Yes I have no issue saying that I am afraid of the unknown. I AM THOUGH , FACING my fear which is Good.

Kerry - once again thanks. I will instruct my L to focus first on the parenting plan.

Lost - Thank you, I will FACE this - I will not run - I will take responsibility of MY issues and I WILL SURVIVE!

God Bless and thank you
Eric
