This made me laugh, thanks LH. Yes I was such an idiot, during covid I thought well I am calmed and gave her lots of space and she is the one to stop to chat when we exchange the kids. (loud ringer sound!) I made many mistakes, need to accept M is over and not approach W. Working on that!

No!


Thank you! I was literally standing next to S6 ready to intervene when I thought it wasn't worth it and went back into the kitchen to keep making dinner. Now the next question, when I see this happen, is it fine to speak to my son about it and reassure he loves us both but we do have amazing fun together and I understand him wanting to spend more time with me?

These are great goals!


I revise them every day, it is my new compass. I am going to be the man I want to be and build an amazing live, for me, for my happiness!

I was never like this, just the opposite. I need to find myself again.

I am going to focus on my dreams and making them happen. That is one good exercise for this new life I want to live. Think abaut the steps that will take me there, write them down.

No no! The only one place in my current status where W has no space is my relationship with the kids, that is above all this hell I am going through.

I hear you LH. Thanks a lot for the comment. Can you please extend on this? I know I do post a lot about "W has said", "W has done", "I am hurting b/c...", it is because I want to let steam off. Hearing an external, objective person like you saying this really troubles me, in the sense that I think, I must be so stuck on this that people are even giving up on me. I will make an effort to post more on my changes and work on myself rather on W interactions. In fact, I will minimize the interactions with W and post more about my changes.

I need to regain my self esteem, emotional stability, independence and happiness. Aside from W.

Thanks for your post. I will tell you the same I say to Sandi all day long. Please keep helping me, I am listening.
