Often times when I read your posts, I think of the Simon and Garfunkle song, "I am a rock I am an island". And I say this affectionately, because I think it's a beautiful song and because I think it is a nice trait to feel things so deeply and intensely even though that type of sensitivity causes more pain. Perhaps that sensitivity also makes you appreciate a bit more, the good things in life too? You are doing things right, and I think if you decide to pursue love again, you and your partner will certainly have the best possible chance for success. If it is not something you ever wish to pursue, that is ok too. Kind of like taking that pool shot...you have to be focused and mentally ready right?
I am glad your children are thriving, and that there is hope in your current career. Sorry that you are still dealing with tensions from ex wife. She's the one that left and broke up the family. Seriously. It doesn't make sense to me either. What did she expect?
And hey, maybe there is a lot we learn from games that we can incorporate into life. Your daughter certainly sets a nice example
