Thank all, I still have hope just feeling a bit down this am. I know I still have to work on detaching, being stronger for myself and giving her the time and space and space she needs. Easier said than done:-) i keep going back to how good things are when it is just us and no worries about the kids and custody battle.
She wants to give her boys a safe place and i respect that. Trying to take small steps but sometimes i get hopes up and get carried away. No not going to give up just need to keep working toward goal of improving relationship. Just dating for a few years could be fun. Need to not put pressure on her for anything and let her lead.
