It’s been a little over 3 months since my W and I have agreed to reconcile.
My W moved back to the Bay Area at the end of July and things are going relatively well thus far. We have disagreements, however our communication is much better.
During a disagreement about a week ago she brought up some issues in regards to how I handled certain things during the divorce proceedings. Specifically that I had several mutual friends and church members write declarations to rebut everything that my W and her attorney wrote about me during our custody hearing. She didn’t and doesn’t understand why I did what I did given that statistically, custody is awarded to the mother.
My response was that I am their father and it is my obligation to fight for them. It wasn’t about her and I’d fight for them no matter who or what stood in my way. It was about doing what was right for me as their father. I told her if I lived my life based on statistics, I wouldn’t be standing in front of her at that moment.
There was a lot more to that convo, but that is the gist of it. We hashed it out and moved on. Different perspectives.
This weekend we are attending Retrovaille, which I am really looking forward to.
All in all, I am happy with where we are today and the path we find ourselves on.
