This convo with my wife just hit me. So i thought i'd just add it here. When wife called up on 31st and said that she would be in 'it' for the long haul, i wanted to know why she decided. So i asked her when we met.

She said that when she filed and decided to leave me, she had convinced herself that the reason she was leaving was because i was not being a proper 'dad' to daughter. I guess the reason she gave herself was that i was depressed always. Oddly i did not look at it that way. Lot of factors contributed to her wanting out. Honestly i never thought that me not being emotionally available to my 2 year old daughter was a big factor. But i just took that on face value. So apparently that's why she left. Now she sees me how i visit to see my daughter every month, do video calls everyday and see how much fun she is having when she is with me and apparently wife began to question her reasons for leaving. That is why she thought that we should work it out for our daughter.

Good reasoning. The reason i put it here is because i recalled what 25 told me during my early days of misery. To be the best dad you can be and that women do find that attractive. Not that i was faking any of the stuff my daughter. I always wanted to do all the activities with my daughter. Only difference was that this time, i was 'in the moment' and never let other stuff about my life, out sitch bother me. I also helped me grow and become stronger.
