Hi Jelly, It's nice to have you stop by. You support is appreciated, a gift is a gift regardless of what it is, it's the thought that counts. Roiste, thank you for sharing your thoughts on my situation. Both of yours support helps me cope.
I see that my path now is to play a support role in my children's lives. I no longer need to carry the torch and lead them through life. I will now follow their leads and support and advise them when needed. This is also the only role for me vis a vis my wife. As my wife follows her path I can only support and validate. This does not preclude me having GAL activities. It just how I will interact with her now. I hope to make the best of this situation and forge even stronger bonds with my children. After all, one can only have a relationship with someone who wants to have a relationship with you.
I am very grateful that I have a relationship with some of you here. It means a lot to me. I just wish people would not disappear but life is impermanence, life is change. Enjoy each moment because change is here. Peace
