Squiggy, Zypher, nice posts, very insightful. roiste and I share some similarities so I can use your advice also. Thank you guys.
Roiste, hang in there buddy. Squiggy suggeestion of displaying your new behavior on you kids is brilliant. You wife lives your changes without the defense of it being something she has to force a reaction to, a back door to affect change, brilliant. Definitely a new one for my playbook. Zypher wanting you to keep the focus on you and your boys is a win win choice. No matter what happens you and your sons win.
My advice is to listen to those two posts. Please keep posting, we are here when you are feeling the pain of rejection and question your resolve. Be strong roiste, be well
