wife hardens heart-6

[planet]

I regret hitting my kids out of frustration. I know and I acknowledge it. I don't spank them now and I'll remember not to do it when I'm frustrated.
I don't run away from admitting my mistakes. I own up to them.

XW have been using this excuse of spanking the kids against me. She is justifying it to everybody else that I'm not a good father. I could count the times I've spanked the kids with only one hand. I'm not saying I'm right but this not the image I want to be stuck with.

I certainly owned up my issues throughout my M. I recognized them. I don't run away from them. There many regrets and I wished I could have done things differently.
But, I do not see their approach in parenting is the best way.

I know she is unhappy in the M even if OM is not is the picture we probably would D somewhere down the line.
But you are telling me to ignore OM. How is that even possible?
There are no chance at all of a possible R.

I'm just taking things a day at a time. I made quite a number of new friends lately. Reconnecting with some old ones. Spending some time apart from my girls.
I got things to do but it doesn't seem to fulfill the loss that I felt.
