I am sure that part of my reply can include some validation. Maybe some acknowledgement that I am not denying many contributions to the breakdown of our marriage. That for her sake she deserves to know the truth, and that is I was never a drug user during our time together with the exception of three days during 2012. That I am not claiming to be without fault, or denying that the pain she felt wasn't real. Simply putting to bed a mistaken notion to avoid causing her further pain needlessly.
Then I can talk about how we both agree that it's important that our kids are loved and supported from both parents. We have our differences on what this needs to look like, but I have taken her feedback to heart. And though I can't promise to never miss a child's even in the future, I agree they need to be prioritized whenever possible.
This is just some rough sketches, I'm still sorting through it in my mind.
Thank you.
