anything you have posted on here in regards to communication to your wife and kids, starts off with a rehashing of the past and how you want forgiveness and the damage that has done before you got to the point of what you were trying to communicate. And your text to your brother kind of seemed like that.

I think there needs to just be a simple "yes, I scan coparent without pursuing.

If you are in a place where you can keep the words to a minimum, and work off of action, then go for it. But I do think you have sent enough lengthly texts and emails in the last few months, and now is the time to put them away and use soley actions.

That's all I meant.

I feel like I'm in a better place now than I've been in a long, long time. I am sad. Very. But I'm moving on without her. I'm resolved to that. And I've forgiven her for the pain that she caused me. I've truly done that. That was huge. And it has helped me in indescribeable ways. And not only that...I truly wish her love, health, and happiness. I think that's pretty huge too. Now...I want my kids to stop being so torn. I can co-parent without pursuing. My actions from here on out will prove that to be true.
