A New Path - I just left my wife

[tpc1977]

Today I started anew.
I found out my step daughter is getting into things she shouldn't. She's 17 and getting into bad habits. My daughter, 13, is telling me things in secret and sometimes cries about it. She doesn't want to live with them anymore.

I spoke to my wife and it didn't end well. I really kept my cool about it and voiced my concern but was hit pretty aggressively with how I’m not around enough to see what’s really going on. I couldn’t argue about it in all honesty so I left it. All I see my wife doing is leaving her to do what she wants, when she wants. The 17 year old is throwing parties at the house when my wife goes to spend time with her man and there is drinking and who know what else.

So I’ve decided to get involved more. Way more. I’m going to slowly build up a strong relationship with her on the phone and in person. I want her to know I'm still in her life, still care, and still expect the best out of her. I hope she sees what she’s getting involved with is corruptive and can throw her way off course.

My other concern is my wife. She’s let go of so much to be with this guy. She back doing things she shouldn't and it worries me. I miss her still, tremendously and wish I was still with her. Well, if she was in a better place.
