Thanks Don. Appreciate the kind words, bro.

I've stayed relatively quiet in this thread but I'll add a bit of personal experience... I've learned that when someone is very accustomed to a certain behavior, when time comes they are going to shut down. It won't matter how much you change, it won't matter how better off you end up after making your changes and it sure as hell won't mean a damn thing when you realize what you've lost and it's too late... They are gone until they can see it for themselves.

Some get lucky and they have a significant other that believes them and sees it and wants to have the better you... They give you the opportunity to show them and they want to support you. Some (like you and I apparently) have created a monster in the person that loves them built out of resentment and fear. That monster won't go away on your terms, ever.

I have no doubt that over time, if you TRULY are changing for the better, she will turn towards you again. She will see the difference in the way the kids and friends act around you and talk about you. She might even fall IN love with you again. Only time will tell. The problem with the whole mess is that if/when it happens, you might not be on the same page. Oddly enough, SHE might be too late. She might also be right on time life is funny that way.

Whatever the future holds for you, Levi, keep your head up. You've got good friends and you're not a loser. Take some time and let everything settle: reflection is a mighty powerful asset. You might just realize things are actually not so bad now! You've got a lot of life ahead of you, keep truckin' Holmes!

I know how you feel.
I had to leave my ex wife after 6 years together. Even though I was the one who walked I still took it hard. Took me a year to get over it. But I'm happier now than I've ever been. I've taken what I learned from my first marriage and the mistakes we both made, and have applied them to my new one. All the bad shit was worth it considering the joy I have now.

God bless man it's going to be a bumpy ride.
(pm me if you need any advice or an ear. I also have a brother in law who is a minister down there if you need some help in that way.)
