Quote: YOU have done a tremendous and courageous job of making a valiant effort to recapture your relationship with him, BUT, you're NOT done yet.
I would gladly hand you the towel that you're so ready to throw in, IF I believed that everything that could be done, had been done.

I support your stepping back...for YOUR sake and your DDs sake, but I encourage you to float above the current trauma of his continued failure to 'reconnect' and see it for what it is....HIS continued confusion.
Remove YOURSELF from his inability to make a real commitment just yet....let him complete HIS journey through this hellish ordeal....while YOU go about making life better for yourself despite/or inspite of what HE does or fails to do.
What have I not done? How do I do that?
