The last few days have been pretty good. I have been super focused on my kids, especially my S8. I have made a commitment to just live my life and focus on my friends, my kids and myself. My W continues to do more and more to work on the M but I also know that too much of my mind/effort is on her and what she is doing/thinking. I need to refocus on me and just BE HAPPY.

The other day, I spoke with a good friend who recently went through a D. It was pretty nasty (lots of legal battles, threats, arguments, etc.) But the silver lining is that although he went through a dark period, he is happy now. He has a girlfriend and was dating before he met her. He also said that he is a much better boyfriend/potential husband than before the D. He has learned a lot from the process and is a better man as a result.
