Hello Everyone!! Checking in with you all again!! I have not been on here in awhile. Kids have been busy with school, extra activities and counseling. I have been working and doing dad things.
Filed papers to change legal separation to divorce this week and amended the parenting plan. STBXW calls the kids every night, which is good. They seem to be doing better. D12 is still unhappy about her mom's lies and the fact that she will not be around to see her in school activities. But she saves her frustration for counseling sessions. S7 gets upset once in awhile about missing his mom, but he is doing MUCH better. He looks forward to his counseling sessions.
I am also doing counseling. It is nice to not bottle everything up. I have been getting in touch with old friends more. That has been nice.
I am so grateful for the help I received on this forum. I did not save my marriage, but I am a success story! I am stronger today. I look at things from a different perspective. I have learned some things for future relationships. I take things day by day. I am sticking to the 2 year rule and not looking to date anyone for a few years. I am making some new friends, which is nice. I think this forum and the knowledge I have gained has given me a better perspective on what I want in a relationship in the future.
Thank You All very much and I will be in touch soon!
