Tad,
Your xw is going to discover very quickly, as it appears already, that the grass isn't any greener on the other side of the fence. Well, she's the one that destroyed all that she had. You and your xw shared many years together and created beautiful children and memories together. That will eventually sink in in the months ahead. Please do not feel sorry for her, as she is just now getting a taste of what you have been going through for months.

Enjoy the time you spend w/your children. They grow up fast and she's missing out on the milestones. Take plenty of photos and know that your children feel safe w/you at this time.

Live your life to the fullest. Always try to find at least one good/happy thing each day to smile about. It will make the rest of your journey easier for you.


Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to.
The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
