Cadet,

Good morning. Ok, just have to do that. It [censored] that I have to put aside my feelings of love and see how distant and hard she is trying to move on or keep me out. The uncertainty of not know what the future holds for us as a family is hurtful and sad.

Damn, she and the kids are the love of my life and I feel like I'm a failure. Yup, feeling sorry for myself and I know I have to get my confidence back. Question is how?

Well the advantage with this is that DB'ing can help work on YOU.

So a goal is = get my confidence back.
What will that look like?
How will it feel?
What small steps can you take to head you in that direction?

I think GAL is also involved, IMHO.

I've found that dressing better, eating better, doing more interesting things and meeting new people are great first steps to regaining confidence!

Don't let her take your kids away from you.


You didn't answer this. Is she denying you from seeing the kids completely and just removing you from their lives? Its not her decision to "transition" the kids out of your life, you have every right to see them as she does. When was the last time you physically seen them?

No I'm not being denied to see them. They live about 2 hours from me. I saw the kids when I got back into town last weekend.

Now that I distancing myself from her and detaching to make a better me.

I can't help but think...what if she doesn't care or come back and if she meant it when she said we are done?

I know it sounds weak, but I don't know what is in her head or mind.

Thanks Cadet. It's just a scary thought to go on without us as a family. The issues I know can be resolved.

She doesn't act like shes confused. She says she has a plan and is going forward with it. She doesn't seem to have feelings or isn't showing any kids of emotion. She is blocking them with the wall she said she put up.

It may be like that for quite sometime, that's why you really need to detach and GAL, it will get easier but there will be bumps on the road, that's why 180s are so important, so you can become, INDEPENDENT and CONFIDENT in YOURSELF!!!

Do what's best for YOU and your kids, let her fall, let her stumble and don't pick her up, she will come to you if SHE needs you, it has always been HER choice to be with you, not yours.

Its really hard to detach, we are all doing it with you, we are all here for each other, so feel free to vent, send us a message, etc. But leave her ALONE!!!

Thank You ILYNOT. I appreciate it.

I got to trust the system and have faith that it will all be of growth for love and family.
