That's what I was meaning. If I come out of it a better, more proactive and positive person, and the best dad I can be, that's a goal to strive for.

I also know I need to GAL more, I lost all my hobbies pretty much since D was born, especially since I started working so far away from home, now with a 3 hour commute each way.
