I hear you Cali. I am proud about my leap forward in terms of acceptance. Of course he up and left so acceptance is easier in a way. My girls are older so he does not need to go through me. it is ironic but they have far less compassion for him than I do. They are at an age where if a Dad leaves and if a Dad cheats then he is not a man they respect. I stay neutral and tell them that humans are complicated. I also try to tell them that love and reconciliation come in lots of forms. I just tell them not to bolt the door shut.

Slow and steady like a snail...
