Immerse yourself into this. By having the kids and focusing all of your energy into them and feeling their unconditional love will help you a great deal in the daily grind. Yes after they are settled into bed, its hard to suppress the thoughts of W and the sitch. This is a great time to get on this board and read or pick up one of the many books suggested here and read. Focus on stepping into the role of being the best, loving father you can be. It will definitely help your self-esteem and confidence which makes it easier to put yourself first in regards to the MR.
