Hi Jack. Doing well. XW has really lost much of her anger if not all. The calls are increasing (re the kids) and texts/emails diminishing. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if she marries her OM but seems that THAT is working in my favor with regards to time seeing my kids.
Overall, I DO NOT THINK that my marriage was salvageable in any way shape or form. We are now apart nearly 16 months. Last week, XW's sister came to S11's baseball game (who, btw, is becoming an amazing pitcher). I hadn't seen her in nearly 3 or 4 years. She burst into tears, hugged me and said 'some of us see clearer than others'. Well, makes you feel better but the divorce is 'old' now and in the past.
In a nutshell....
Hope you are well. FIB

I find it amazing how in time their family sees the big picture of everything that happened. The initial reactions are always to protect their loved ones. They defend them to the hilt without ever seeing all that the picture involved. After time the one's who really give a rats ass always see the true picture and eventually you have those meetings with them where you get the only vindication you will receive from them. Recognition that it wasnt all because of you.
Awesome on your boy FIB, I have been seeing the pics of him that you put up and he appears to be doing great. The additional time with your kids because of her om thing, enjoy it. I do
Now...I just have to get ME someone. Hope you all are well. FIB

How are you, FIB? Hope you are doing well. You will meet someone when you are meant to. Meantime, enjoy life - your children, family, friends, your career. You have so much to be thankful for -right?
A quick hello to Jack3Beans. Hope you are well. FIB

FIB, Jack hasn't been around for quite some time. He's had some developments in his life that require his full time attention. Before you assume anything...his family remains in tact and they are doing okay.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
That's great to hear. He overcame some tough stuff. FIB
