Hello rainyday,
Thank you for the compliments. The children are incredibly important to me. They gave me a reason to "stay" when I wanted to "leave", and are also the #1 reason why I sought help when I realized that I was no longer able to stand up to the world by myself.
I miss what I had with my wife, and I have mourned for the future we could have had. But it is a small matter now. The damage done is done, and even if she were to change her mind, I would not go back. If nothing else, I could not live with the possibility that she could do this to me again.
So it is for the children and myself that I carry on, and I truly do look to them for purpose and focus. In return, I hope to be a father they can look to for example and for guidance.
I wish you all the best in your quest to become partlycloudy. Life is too short to have it rain all the time.
:)
ps- my wife kept the cat. I miss the cat now more than my wife. Ha.
