I am getting a lawyer. I wanted to avoid this and not get ugly.
I will reread the posts.
Painter, please elaborate on this:
It looks like you have some trouble separating your children from your W, and that you accept her taking them from you and being the gatekeeper. They have not left you, and they didn't want to. What she said about earning the children back, sounds to me as if it was really just about her, but she also has trouble separating herself from them, it seems.
I will look into Counseling. How do i find a DB Counselor in my area?
I know she wanted to space and she can have all she wants. I will focus on my boys and me for sure.
It's a lonely walk down this scary road and it hurts bad.
I do want to create the marriage, but I always want a better me.
Please feel free to give any and all advise to me so I can stay the course.
