SadHub, you are as far from that as you could possibly be. Seriously. Don't let your wife's projection of her own anger and guilt issues onto you make you doubt yourself.

No one is a perfect partner, but there is absolutely no way that you could have raised two such wonderful children if you weren't a genuinely good person. It speaks volumes that your D17 feels so uncomfortable around her mother now and looks to you for refuge. You are obviously a source of comfort, support, and stability. You earned her trust for a reason.

Don't give up on yourself. Ever.
