Need help saving my family - part 8

[Scorp7]

keep_going, I'm looking at this as an opportunity to make myself the best version of me I can, sounds corny but it's true. In time anything is possible so I'm not giving up hope, I'm just not dwelling on a R any longer.

gabbysmom, the custody issue is number one right now as far as my W and I are concerned. Depending on how that goes it may be a major obstacle to a good relationship between my W and I. I can't let that effect my decisions when it comes to my kids though.

Wonka, I think I'm actually looking and feeling better than I have in years. I've lost about 15 pounds of flab and gained that back in muscle, it feels awesome! I've been working out nearly every day so the changes are pretty obvious. I do try to look my best even if it's only been my MIL that I see when I pick up the kids. I pick the kids up at a coffee shop or at the hotel I'm staying at so far, no visits to the in-laws to this point. I still see my W as a scared deer, she's hiding from me for whatever reason. In time, if she would be willing to see me and maybe chat I think she'd be blown away by the changes I've made.
