Hi SI 07. Sorry you are here. I just caught up on your sitch. My W just moved out 2 weeks ago and the day was hard. Some days are better than others and none of it is going to be really easy.

What I am finding tho is that, like you, I have a good idea of the path I want to follow. With W out of the house you have more time to work on your path. Keep the focus on you and your kids. To me there is little more fulfilling than time with my kids.

I would expect S to reach out now and then to see what you are doing especially if there is no communication other than kids. It sounds like you are handling these texts and other contacts well

My question for you is, you have said you understand your part in the breakdown of M, so do you know why the things you did or didn't do happened? Ex. Myself I was distant and in front of the computer. I changed that right away and asked myself why I did it in the first place. Te answer to that was role model. My father would come home from work and watch tv. Rarely go out or do anything but relax. I saw that as how a father acts. Now I am working to change that in myself.

Keep up the good work. Keep posting. There is lots of great advice here!


The person that you will spend the most time with in your life is yourself, so make yourself as interesting as possible.
