One more thing Trump...you are doing a remarkable thing. Turning lemons into lemonade. You are making the worst thing that can happen in your life become a turning point for personal growth and a positive journey. I truly applaud that. Truly.

Part of your narrative is looking at the D as a gift. As Cadet says, the gift of time. I definitely agree with the road you're on.

There have been several debates about calling D a gift though. I am in the camp that it is not. I will use it as if it were...I will make good choices post D, be happier post D, be a better dad post D...but never will I agree that D was a good thing, of 'for the best'.

That said, if the narrative you have constructed is fueling positive change in your life, stick with it!
