I don't really have much to add as I've been attempting to DTR now for almost 3 years and still have not been able to do so successfully, but I just wanted to chime in to say how very impressed I am with you and all you've managed to handle. At your age I didn't have even half of the strength you've shown to handle what life has dealt you.

I know they are just words from an outsider, but I know (for me at least) it's good to hear from others sometimes. To me, history shows that chances are good he will realize what he left and want back in. The question then will be are you willing to let him.

Keep moving forward and protect yourself and your boys. Things change constantly.
