Oi, mine is special...

[LITB]

I empathize with your feelings Bruce. I really do. Been there, done that. It was a huge mistake on my part.

I didn't want to push my W further away. The reality was, I couldn't push her any further. I waited to lawyer up and fight for my rights as a father and it could have been very costly.

I won't lie to you. It got ugly once the gloves came off. If I knew then, what I know now, I would have dropped the gloves early on.

To give you an idea, we dealt with the courts beginning in June '11 and it went into August '11. During that time, a reconciliation didn't seem possible. Almost a year later, my W and I agreed to reconcile.

Point is, don't risk possibly sacrificing your rights as a father for a relationship with your W, that isn't a guarantee. It isn't worth the gamble. Members on here told me the same thing in my sitch and I didn't listen.
