Thanks! I appreciate the good vibes. I've definitely had some slip-ups and setbacks, but overall I think I've been doing pretty well... definitely positive changes in my life are evident even if in the end W doesn't change her mind and I can't save our marriage.

I'm slowly arriving at a place where I'm no longer concerned too much about myself; much more concerned about how the kids would handle things... On good days I feel pretty strong and know that despite some dark days I would ultimately be ok if W and I can't make this work. But I sure as heck wouldn't want to put the kids through the wringer. Hoping as long as I keep keeping-on it won't come to that.
