You know, Jim, I sometimes have a hard time finding the right words, especially after the likes of V and rd and many others who say things so much better than I. But, what I can say is I totally understand the resignation and acceptance thing. Sure, our sitches are in totally different stages, but I can tell you when I hit that whole acceptance thing, it was like a weight lifted off my shoulders.

I have learned to separate my XH from the person I married. They truly are two different people in my mind now and it has helped me realize a lot of things. I'm not suggesting you do this, as you have to do what works for Jim and that might not be it, but I just know that is what helped me get to acceptance.

I couldn't agree more with what V said above about daddies and their love. I, too, am still a "daddy's girl" despite my age being LONG past what could be considered girlhood. There is a very special bond between daddies and daughters and you are building an even stronger one and that is something that will be precious to all of you as you all grow together.

Much love, Jim, and tail wags from Molly too. We pray for you constantly and wish you all the best this life has to offer.
