17BAKER445, I really appreciate your post thank you for the insight and support. your experience is something that i am inclined to rely on heavily during this period.

KENT,
That is a very good question and honestly speaking, less than what I had been doing to get to this point. Thanks for the pull up. I think I need to get back into my life just a little more. sometimes I think that allowing my wife to have constant access to me is something that might prolong this process,however, I do want to let her know that i am there for her and the children, in my book action speaks louder than words, any thoughts?
