Im mostly settled into my new house & love it, Plenty of projects to keep me busy. Finally got the internet!

The boys are so proud of their rooms, they are loving all the space to play. Its so much easier for transferring the kids, 3 min drive to her place and 5 minutes to day care. W even seem happier about it too.

Im still working on my version of the parenting plan. Before I do I am thinking about writing her a letter and asking if this is what she really wants and to let her know that I would like to start a new relationship with her. Given that this is not the ideal scenario to raise a very young family in.

Given all changes over the last 16 months we should try and give it another go. Im fully prepared to get a negative response but than at least I would know for sure.

If the kids ever ask "Daddy did you try to make it work with Mommy" I can say yes. Not to shame her but to show that I never gave up on trying to save this family.

I really feel that I have become awesome again, full of confidence, sober, full of energy and will make a wonderful partner for her.

Am I making a mistake with this approach?
