Yes, that helps for sure. You're right eric, I am still living with fear and a whole pile of "what ifs". The guilt is still there too. It seems I'm still on a roller coaster with doing better and then falling back.

It feels so odd to not tell her more about my plans since that is what I would expect from her when it comes to the kids. DB is counterintuitive so that must mean telling her less is the right thing to do smile.

It is SO hard to try to stop mind reading. All that comes to mind when I consider telling her my plans before hand is that she will flip out, deny me access to my kids and that I'll make my sitch worse. How do I stop that thinking???
