Hey everyone,

Looks like i am in the final few weeks until my D is final. Been sticking to the no contact really well. The only time i see STBX is when my oldest son has baseball games. She will contact me regarding things about the remodel on our house to get it on the market, other than that, not much contact from her.

Last night i went back home for S7 baseball game and stopped at our house to fix up a few things in bathroom. W has been very cold when she sees me but she seemed especially down last night. I asked her how her work day went and she said "crappy" I then asked her what happened to make it crappy and she said they were understaffed at her job and things were very hectic. I didn't offer anything other than a "that must be hard to deal with" She didn't say anything else so i dropped it.

I made an appointment with a former pastor of mine whom i consider to be a very close friend as well. We played softball together when we were younger and i respect him a great deal. I want to talk with him about some GAL activities and my sitch a little bit. At some point, I would like to help others who are in this situation or are thinking about divorce by telling them the hard road they would have to travel and maybe get them to work on their marriage instead of thinking divorce is the easy way out. I wish our counselors had done this for us. I think the metting with the pastor will help me get started on this.

Maybe some day i can be an inspiration for others to fight for their marriage. I can't think of anything more fulfilling right now other than raising my kids to help me GAL.

Wish me luck!
