T, I think it's a good idea to go back to the garden and the workouts. You're right, it has been draining. It's not like you haven't been doing this a while, right? Be good to yourself and don't second guess. That'll just make you crazy. If you doubt me, look to your W and see what that does to her
I for one think you continue to do the best thing, even if it's not what you wanted to have happen. You can only deal with what you have to work with and you can only do the best you can. You're doing awesome. Don't let up and don't feel bad about doing what's right for you and your kids. Your W has to figure things out on her own, and while it may be that she loses the best thing in her life (you and her family), she may at least get some healing out of it and who knows? She may learn from it. Be patient and be consistent, just like you have been, T.
Have a great weekend!
