Please give me your opinion on this letter I am thinking of sending to my wife today. Meanwhile, I will commit to not sending it until I get some feedback!
Don't completely trust myself yet!

Hey there,
I have been thinking a lot about D14 lately.
Given everything that both of you have been through together, and all the stuff that each of you is dealing with on your own right now, I just want to acknowledge what a great mom you are to both your kids.
I know it's not easy for any of you right now, and for D14 especially the amount of change and insecurity in her life is undoubtedly overwhelming.
So I just wanted to say I think you are doing great in spending more time with her and giving her the one-on-one loving she so desperately wants and needs.
I think it's great that you are giving her driving lessons, and it's wonderful that the three of you are going on vacation together.
Also, my offer is still open to pay for having someone come over for a couple of hours on the nights that you are working, to help take some of the pressure off you and D14 both. I think if it's presented as having someone there to help her, rather than to watch her, she might be more receptive.
Also, I'd be happy to arrange and pay for someone to drive the kids to school, karate and the rec center on days you would rather not or can't.
I have someone in mind who might be able to help you with any or all of that, or we could also try putting an ad in craigslist.
No strings attached. I know I have often failed you and D14 in the past, so now I just want to help out any way I can.

I am being the possibility of:
1) Integrity 2) Loving myself completely. 3) Things flowing naturally between us, without any fear or attachment to the outcome.
