Excellent - huge revelations in that post on your part. Re-read it OVER and OVER again. I think recognizing where you are at - and that YOU have choices to make that will effect your OWN joy and happiness is a really big deal. And, as I have said many a time - when we approach life with a sense of love versus a sense of fear - it opens up all kinds of possibilities.
I think this is where Michelle's wisdom (and other successful piecers shines true). Often when the bomb drops, we become obsessed with improving things for the OTHER person, we don't focus on ourselves - and in the end, that is where the focus lies. So kudos to you for a big step. Future focus.
Stay with it. Like I said, re-read your post over and over. Get goin' on those goals. I particularly loved the ones related to your kids. I've been told that was a big deal for my W as well - to see me really reconnecting with my kids....
Rock on! Now get out and shred the back side of Mt. Olympus! That's bein' a man!

Never sacrifice the great for the good. Sometimes the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair.
