You are right that was a very irresponsible and wrong-headed view for me to take. If the OW called me up today and said things were falling apart, there is nothing I could really do about it that would not immediately put my M in utter jeaopardy (sp?).
My thoughts have been all over the place today. Sorry about that. I really don't want to do anything to hurt my W more than I already have. I can't seem to get a good grip on all my feelings. I feel like I am in the middle of a tornado at times. I'm trying to feel good about myself and make good decisions in the midst of a lot of lingering guilt and uncertainty. Lack of sleep certainly isn't helping either (been averaging about 2 hours of sleep per night, I try to help the W get some sleep by holding the baby when it is fussy at night, she needs the sleep more than I do).
I have awhile back asked her what she thought of me as a person and she did make mention of what she thought were my defining qualities. None of them had anything to do with being emotional, except "generous to a fault."
We were just about to the point were potty training was going to begin when the birth hit. All thoughts of potty training are now gone.
