I texted my lawyer to let him know. The agreement drafted up by her lawyer is not something I will agree to. So this process may take a while.
The only peace I have right now is knowing that one day, when my little boy and little girl are grown, I will be able to look them in the eyes and tell them I did all that I could to keep us together. Did I make mistakes? Yes. Were my efforts perfect? No. But I fought a good fight for noble reasons.
But I do feel like I failed them because my efforts did not produce the intended results. I know we talk about how DBing is about us. But really we all come here with the same goal: to save our marriages and our families.
In that. I have failed. But I can always take solice in the fact that I didn't give up and did the best I could.
