Gordon! Thank you for checking in, buddy. I'm up and down, but more hopeful than not lately. Wife has tried to make amends with the extended family, promising she'll do whatever she can to earn back my trust and love.

I want to believe it all, but my guard is definitely up. I'm continuing to focus on myself and kids. Getting fit, exercising more, fixing up the house, etc. Started individual counseling last week. It feels great to have someone in my corner who I can vent to and seek guidance from. The therapist is also a marriage counselor and wants to bring in my wife after a few more sessions. We'll see how that goes!

Wife too began therapy last week and found it very valuable. I'm cautiously optimistic that we can turn this around eventually.

She now believes her boss is a psychopath. She's learned more about him from other coworkers recently and it's pretty concerning. She's trying hard to get a new job or to get laid off where she'd get a nice severance package. That's what I'm hoping for so she can actually have a real break and be more of a mom again finally.

Thanks again for checking in, I truly appreciate it!

Jase smile
