What she said! CTH, this is not just about YOU! It's about building the best life possible for your kids. So you've got to put aside this anger and bitterness and do right by your kids. The only reason your wife has this power over you is because you give it to her. Take it back! You don't have to be her buddy but at least recognize that she has given you the greatest gifts ever, your kids. Respect her for that and work with her in bringing them up together. They are what really matters here. They are the real victims! CTH, my wife screwed me around good for years and a friend once said "I don't know how you're still walking around" but my wife loves her kids as do I and we do everything we can to give them the best life possible. Sometimes I still feel discomfort around her and I sure don't call just to chat but we have a common bond that cannot be broken, a love for our kids. You do too! So once again, speak to your Pastor, read "Healing Is A Choice"...please do something to deal with your feelings here! And if you, do you will get through this.
