I must say I really need to be thankful. I spent some time today ready a few other people's posts today and I realize how lucky I have it. I read many stories of people who are struggling with affairs, long distances, interfering relatives, blood thirsty lawyers, etc, etc.

My W and I are not at each other's throats. We spend time together as family and have a very nice time. We eat most family meals together and we do not have any real/scary fights. The only real tension is about money and our past hurts. And we have not been to see lawyers. The inhouse Sep was at first torture and now it's quite calm. I do think her detachment and my increased confidence has really been the formula. And for me quite hopeful.

I need to say right here - my increased confidence is not because of anything I've done. It's totally because of my asking God to change and shape me.

For a couple of days I had some setback and reverted to some bad behavior. It's because I went from confident to arrogant. I kicked God out of the drivers seat and thought I knew better.

I've asked God to forgive me for that and I have recommitted myself to following his path - wherever it takes my, my children and my W.

Thanks prayer partners for being there for me.
