Scott, something made me look at your topic and lo and behold F is here also. Both Positivespin and Fartiltre are so right. Don't give up hope until you are ready to. You just have to separate the two things: your hope and the legal side. Your W wants to deal with the BD her way, and if it is divorce then so be it. You cannot do anything about it. I mean that in a nice way. You can only do things for you now. Focus on the 180's, the things the W didn't like about you. Be a better father. Yes it is a marathon, not a sprint.
