I guess I'll repeat what I said several days ago....
It will be good to see a shift in your thread from your W, to you focusing on you and what you need to do.

If you think your W needs several years of therapy before going into another R, then how many do you think you need?

If your W had a restraining order against you, I am not understanding why this back and forth has even taken place??? You may feel Ohio takes those orders as a joke, but are you sure it wasn't you who took it as a joke? IMO w/ restraining order alone you should have caused you to go dark when that was established....

I truly hope you take some time and make permanent changes that will help you, no matter who you are with in the future. This being your second marriage, it's time to face that mirror and focus on you and your children, no one else. All the best to you on the rest of your journey.
