Day 62-0. Just don't know how to feel tonight. Had the difficult conversation of legal separation, with my wife. Come to find out, she had already done the legwork. I guess, I kind of expected as much. She agreed to allow me more of my money and reduce my payment to her to just child support and my portion of the bills. Very fair and reasonable. So, in a way, I feel good. I can finally move on and start getting back to some normality. Maybe even get a bed. Hardest part tonight, was looking into my daughters eyes, knowing that she doesn't know whats coming. Knowing how it will change when things start moving. Grateful that she doesn't have to see us fight. Grateful that my wife and I can at least be sensible adults. I also apologized for destroying our marriage. But, I also had to express the distance that has grown between us, and that my hope in that is dwindling. Moving forward. Gotta fight my addictions, and my character defects. Stay focused on that, and have patience. Thank you all for your continued support. I don't feel too bad about the one drink I'm having tonight. A lot of stuff on my plate.
Even though I'm not there... I'm here. Still proud of you my friend.
YES!!!!! So very proud of you! A huge step forward. Getting the basics squared away will allow you to focus on the sobriety next. Although these things may seem negative to you right now, they cluttered the task at hand. I have so much hope for you.
Mindslave...So sorry that your marriage is ending. One day at a time and you will get thru all of this! We are here for ya!
@Yodafan I’m hoping so. Still building those moments. Taking my little girl to NASCAR!! Whoo Hoo! She’s really excited.
Hey bro,
I have a little girl and your comment about she doesnt know what's coming really bites. I feel for you and am in your corner if you need. You ever need to talk call me 0414 991 975. I'm in Australia so maybe need to add couple of numbers. Take care mate. Heartman
@mindslave1 praying for you through all this my friend. God bless
@mindslave1 You will be creating such wonderful memories with your daughter! Kids see and know more than we could ever imagine. They are very resilient and sometimes handle things better than we think they can. She will feel much more secure not living in a home with fighting and tension, even tho her parents live apart. And who knows? It may be temporary. I think you are doing the right thing for now. Love that you have that sweet daughter to keep you going forward.
