WAW moved out, spewing anger, trying to detach

[SH_]

I need to thank those that have checked in and shared support for me since my last post. It was a tough one that threw me for a loop, but I was able to move past it. Due to some other events since then, mostly good, but also eye opening and a window to what I may have to accept and work through for my future. Details to come.

Phoebe, thank you for always checking in on me. Your support for me and my daughters is comforting and strengthening for me. While you do not have kids, you demonstrate such motherly instincts, and your words of kindness and concern are truly appreciated.

1gr8dad, thank you for being such a great dad. You are such a role model for d3, praying with her and praying for both mom and dad is the best. I know it is important to do this and that is what was so hard to hear my d say what she did. I can't control WAW but I can control me and I will. D5 sees this and I know it. Thank you for your words and support.

Sadsara your words ring true and very in the theme of what runs through my mind each time I see WAW act out and or hear my d's share the acting out. It is sad, but my goal is to work that much harder so that the good I can do prevails. My d17 recognizes this and is much the reason she has chosen to not put up with her mothers behavior. Time will show d5 the same if her mom can not break the spell of the fantasy she is living now.

Rich, you are so right. It is the 101 of parenting. In my state the divorce paperwork has several clauses about not bad mouthing the other parent. I selected my L because co parenting was his top priority when working with his clients. Unfortunately WAW is focused on money and how she can get back at me since d17 does not want to be a part of her fantasy life.

Irish, your post brought a great smile to me. It is a confidence booster to feel your support for me as a father and as a superhero. I am somewhat of a comic book nerd and love most things superhero. I will proudly wear a cape, and the role of a father.
Thank you for your kind words.

V, you made the smile even bigger. Your wit, humor and sincere support always brightens my day.

Thank you all for the kind words, support and confidence you share with me.
