Thanks for the advice, I have realized through this whole process that I can only change and control myself and that I can not go back and change the past. I have contributed to the position that I am in today and hopefully through actions I will be able to make myself a better person. All of this is so easy to talk about and so difficult to deal with. I make the mistake at times of projecting the future as opposed to focusing on acting as if.
I do believe that time is both on my side and against me. He is pushing very hard on the other side and I am trying to work on me as opposed to trying to influence her decisions.
