You're right, jim0987. Thanks for the reminder. My parents calmed me down with the same talk.

Tonight D6 said: "I asked mom what her dream drawing would be and it's her, OM, me, D3 and her parents in a park."

D3 said: "We went to the pool as a family: mommy, OM, D6 and me."

This impression of having been replaced overnight, after being there through so much as a husband over almost 10 years, is very hard to bear. While imperfect and willing to recognize what I did wrong, I struggle to understand how what I did went beyond "for better or for worst", why it was deemed unrepairable so quickly. I'm trying to stay positive, but sometimes I really look forward to reading what hope Wonka sees in my sitch... It seems like such a done deal on her end, with no reason to hold back on anything.
