You must be super proud about that - how old are they?

I do feel good about my increased connection with the kids. That is one of the things I have learned from reading about and talking to others who have gotten D, that if it hadn't happened, they never would have gotten so close to their kids. I just wish there was a different wake-up call that wasn't so traumatic!

I felt ready the day she left... I wanted to work through this process with her. I thought that weekly meetings with a MC, even if that was our only contact during that period, would have been hugely beneficial. I think it would have helped bring truth to her mind. I fear the truth will never be acknowledged otherwise. And maybe that is exactly the problem, I want to take control of the situation? I don't want to wait for W to come to her own conclusion? Part of my "fixer" attitude?

Thank you very much for taking time to read my story and respond, it is helpful!
