Thanks Sotto: I just looked up on Hoopla and they have several Brene Brown books. Just downloaded the audio for Daring Greatly. Thank you for the tip.

Hey Srt: I understand that I need to go through this and he needs to go through this. I just can't see how to go through this. I am trying to detach and I know I have to to let him find his own path.

What scares me -- is that our paths may never rejoin. BUT -- I guess that is part of life and part of us having our own free will. What is sad is that I see him becoming his father. He was a lonely man, who never found happiness after leaving his family. He floated from woman to woman until he died in January. My H -- even though having the worst childhood, was a loving and caring man. He loved our daughter and was devoted to her. Just makes me sad for him and for us .... I truly hope we survive, grow, and become better.


Me: 42
Him: 45
Daughter: 13
