Hey Denver, no advice for this go around, and no 2x4's (unfortunately!). Just some words.

I have some new respect for your situation right now. Realizing how hard of spot you are in. Now my W and I are nowhere close to where you are, but until recently I was in the shadows. Some very light back and forth about D, and nothing more. It was pretty easy for me to put her and my sitch on the back burner as I focused on my life.

Since W's dad died I have been pulled back in in a big way. A lot of contact, conversations that are a lot more emotional. I realize now how much harder it is when they are right there. Right in front of you. Part of your life.

Anyways, enough about me. Just wanted to say that I understand your situation a little better now.

One thing is for sure, it will take everything you have man. I know you get tired. But I know you have more to give, and you know what you need to do. It just comes down to fighting as hard as you can. Be as strong as you can. And when the dust settles, regardless of the outcome, knowing you held nothing back.

Good luck man.
