Just reading you post albac, I know if it wasn't for my kids I would be long gone. I know that I've been trying to fix this because of the kids. Thinking my W will see what and how disconnected she is with them. I think I hurt more for their loss than my own, especially my 3 yr old daughter. My W was such a dedicated mother to our son, loved spending time alone with him. Now she doesn't want one on one time with her daughter. I tried suggesting that a few months ago but she turned it down. My daughter regularly tells me that she needs me, that I am the best and that she wants to stay with me. It strikes me in good and bad ways everytime.
