You sound like an awesome person. Thank you and sorry to high-jack your post. This is excellent advice. I am normally not a passive person but when it comes to W and family I always have been. She was always quite fair and I was always happy with the provider/protector role. Then one day she just changed and is now so cold and mean. I can't even begin to understand it and I am tired of wasting energy trying to figure it out. Maybe one day she will have a change of heart maybe she never will. I can't control that, I can only be the best me and the best Dad I can be under the circumstances. I hate it, I hate the position she has put me in and our family in but there is nothing that I can do about that. She has gone pure evil. I am dealing with a woman that I was married to for 16 years and the mother of my 3 amazing girls that asked for a separation over a text. That is only one of about 15 horrible things she has done since May that I would have rather she kicked me in the gut.

Again, sorry to rant on your post. You seem to be handling everything very well. Good for you HeavyD.
