Thanks for y'all's input, MK & KD. Sorry if I was getting all philosophical over a self/marriage-improvement methodology. I guess I was looking at how my wife is (or seems to be) handling the situation - I know she still deals with the marriage/separation/divorce/child thing, but she IS doing much better than when she first left, which is basically how I'm feeling too.
As a side note, LITB's child custody situation has given me a major scare. When I read about how the CA courts ruled in favor of his wife (despite his best efforts), it was a scary reality check for me. Our son is living with her right now (I had no control over this), and I now fear something similar happening to me. True, everybody's case is different, but I need to remember to put my faith in the Lord, as well as be prepared if and when the time comes.
