I went trough a hard seperation 12 years ago at the time I had bought a nice cottage in the suburbs with everything that goes with it...the american dream.
I was a very active alcoolic working construction and boy did I work and drank with the boys.
So what had to happen did the familly burst apart so for a while I lost the smiles of my boy, his cries, is growing up, I left every possesion tat I had to my ex in a heartbeat for the children so they wouldnt go trough more pain that this seperation already cause.
But there was one thing I would not bend on this was the time spent with my son on week-ends after my therapy wich lasted six months I started fighting in court to have soul custody of him, it was a long and costly battle but I'm so glad I didnt ''let go'' for hes living with me since last april.
So I guess the road I trook is different than yours but I am one who believes that letting go on our blood is not a option at all, please dont feel offended all I'm saying is the way I went about it looking back now I am proud to have been like a swiss watch when it came down to our time together so many fathers outhere dont have the right to see there children for all kind of reason's.

How wonderful for your children to have such a great father! It sounds as if you have been there for them and that is what matters and what they will remember! Good for you!
My sister used to have a saying that went, "If you love something, let it go. If it comes back, it is yours. If it doesn't, it never was." (It wasn't really her saying, I just remember her saying it) I think that goes along with what you are saying, we need to have faith that we will persevere and make it through, even through our darkest nights.
