Separated with 50/50 custody of an infant

[sparks14]

Thanks, Tank. Great advice. I will keep up my 180s and GAL.

I checked into local single parents groups and have found some. Lots of Dads out there. I will see if I can meet up with them sometime.

Fathering my child is something that is so important to me right now. I know that she has noticed how well I am doing with our S, since we separated and went 50/50. She has mentioned them in couples therapy and has told me what an amazing father I am. One of her frustrations was my inability to really help when my S was a newborn. It is our first, so in my mind, I had no idea what I was doing or how to help. So you could say that the turnaround from the last few months has been a huge 180.

We have our weekly dinner tonight with our S. I am going to be my upbeat, positive self.
