I was looking forward to a great Fourth of July weekend with the entire family, but my wife had to go out of town (legitimate reason). The good news is that I did have a good Fourth of July weekend. I did lots of fun things with the kids, and they loved me for it! I am more focused than ever on building great memories with my children, not that I haven't always done that. But this was an important weekend for me. I am becoming a great single dad, even though I am still married. I will keep doing more and more things with my kids, just me and them. That is a 180 FOR ME. I have to quit looking at my life as my wife and I being a unit. Even if we are again some day, it is not healthy. Thank you to this forum to helping me get there. One day at a time, I AM BECOMING AMOAFWL.
