Without being too detailed, I'd like to give a brief update. The financial settlement was completed, and my W has proceeded with filing for D last week. While I still don't agree that it's the best way forward, I love her enough to not fight her decision.
More importantly, I'd like to update you on me. I'm doing.......surprisingly well. I've been going to game nights, enjoying my Pathfinder group, hanging out with friends, and doing all sorts of fun things with the girls. I'm continuing to work on being the person I want to be: I'm more confident, a better friend, and most importantly, a better father. While I still miss my wife, I'm grateful to have had this opportunity to better myself.
