Enjoy your holiday weekend and I do hope that you can manage well w/the boot. Sounds like it's going to be a great time for all and lots of happy memories in the making.

Communication for your wife is difficult. She knows that she's messed up royally and also doesn't know how to mend things. She makes an attempt to get you to open up, but she falls flat. Why? Guilt maybe, afraid of what you may say, no one knows for sure what goes on in their heads. However, they do find excuses to touch base w/us when e least expect it.

I'm glad to read that your anger is slipping away. It takes a lot of time to keep that anger brewing.

Irish, you are doing well. The girls are so lucky to have you as their father.

Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to.
The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
