Hello and welcome to the forums! Wow, you've been through some really trying times! I'm curious about this:

It sounds like something may have happened here that you glossed over? What was the nature of the bad reaction, did you turn physicially violent? Why could you not be released to your W? I ask because of this:

My wife and three daughters would not talk to me. later that week I was served with divorce papers.
Certainly when people get sick their family supports them, so I'm wondering what happened that you were that sick and yet your W and kids would not even talk to you and then your W suddenly rushes D papers through. Sounds like there was a serious event in there somewhere. I ask because while DB'ing can help you, there may be a much bigger issue here that DB'ing may or may not be able to address.

We met and agreed to stop the divorce and to live separately for now.The Divorce was stopped around the beginning of October.
Good, well that gives you time for DB'ing! Have you read DR yet?

I have continued to rebuild my relationship with my daughters. I spent both Thanksgiving and Christmas eve with them and my wife.
Great, sounds like nice progress. Try not to rush things.

My wife and I talk mostly about the kids and their issues right now. I am working on myself and trying to get a life. I have started to follow the rules and hope my wife will see the changes I am working on.
Good. But don't have expectations regarding your W. Just work on yourself and give her time and space.
