I thought everything was okay....(Part 6)

[MCS]

Mozzo,

Still checking in, although not really reading many posts as I was. To say everything is back to normal would be a lie; but life as a whole has seemed to be balanced out. The pain is muted, but still there. WW is still wayward, not sure if she'll ever get back and if so, not sure I'll be able to see it. I know she's still struggling and now seems to be retracted into a shell, but this is only the little glimpses I get from things kids tell me in passing. So much more, I feel bad for her and the struggles she is having. Our communication has only barely, slightly improved. That's still my focus, to see if we can get to a point where we can co-parent. However, I've relegated to understanding that needs to be her decision. I can't press or she pulls back. So, I'm taking what life has dealt; even though I'm still sad for my kids that she doesn't want any interaction with me and her and the kids together. I'm being the best dad I can and see my relationship with my kids so much closer than it ever was before. I see I'm their stability and it feels good to be there for them.

For me, still dating and it's turned into a nice friendship getting each other through our rough spots of life. I see that each of us are starting to get the spring back in our step individually but sharing stuff with each other that only people going through similar situations can understand. In a sense, paying it forward from the support here on the board.

Mozza, I hope you are doing well too. There's going to be times that we look back through our lives and see that others have held us up until we regained out footing. You sir, will be in that select group for me. Our semi-anonymous friendship going through the pain is one shining example of how we are never truly alone on this world. I thank you and wish you the best too (I also will check in to see how you are doing)
