Thanks for this Denver....I appreciate your thoughts. Yes the 11 yr old niece involvement was a new low. My W said that 'cemented' her decision, as she would expect me to do that if we had our own kids - ie use them to influence her. Again, valid point and I stuffed up. I am not sure about the letter/email....I have apologised in writing many times, but I guess I haven't said I won't stand in her way of the D...I have more asked that she looks at the great things about us and why she fell in love with me. I think your suggestion makes sense, but I would be interested to see what any of the others here think??
