Newbies introduce yourself /moderation notes

[RegularJoe]

Thanks for the input Math... I actually ave started with the phone coaching from here and this was the same approach I was given to take. I found 10 articles and resources about co-parenting and then when the kids went to bed I approached her with the subject and told her that we needed to discuss this, but that I was giving her some time to read them and then we can see about a time and place that would be good to have a discussion. I don't usually bring up "serious" talks, but this time I did. It was pretty much out of character and my wife told me that she thought I was just going to try to avoid everything again and that she would again have to bring up the issues. I'm also not chasing her. She knows how I feel and even though it seems counter intuitive, I am involving myself more with the gym and doing things with the kids... Generally GAL and hiding the gut wrenching dispair I feel if I think too much about how I'm losing my family.
