Thanks Eric,
I listed myself first as my motivation for change but truly, if I was the only reason, I would feel selfish.
My children need me to change because they learn their behavior from me and my wife (we really do not have extended family)and for that reason, she needs to change as well. She will not change unless I change first and become a role model, so that is why she is listed. I know that her changing in a positive way does not follow from me doing so but I believe is a necessary condition.
I am the one that has to get the ball rolling.
If we did not have children together, I do not see a reason why I should care about her future life but we do, and she will always be the mother of my children.
