It's because of the young kids we get through it. They need the best and proper us in order to feel like they are okay. I have 2 young D's, and Everytime I think I can't move on, they remind me that there are more important things to do.
I agree , I hate to think where I would be without my S , was because of him I took the high road many times..slipped a few .. but I wanted him to have a good father, I have always been pretty good and involved, but now I am all about being a father, making sure his emotional needs are taken care of. W always comments to him "Why don't you hug/love me like that?" when she sees him hug me and run towards me .... It does keep me going, knowing regardless if we can save our family ... he knows I will do what I can for him and his happiness as well as guide him along the way.
