It was six months after the birth of our first child and things were not going well. " "Rebecca snatched my shoe and flung it over the fence. 'Get out, ' she screamed, 'leave now!' " "I stopped in my tracks. I had never thought it possible that I would be a part-time dad, spending the weekend at the park trying to make up for the missed time during the week, struggling to manage handover without dredging up the pain and disappointment. Part-time wasn't what I wanted." "I felt a wave of resolve. I squared my shoulders and with great certainty shouted, 'No son of mine will grow up in a broken home.' It was a moment of clarity in the swirling madness. I'd hit rock bottom. I would not allow it to get any worse. Whatever it was that had led us to this misery would change, starting now! I could see the fear settle on her as she realized what she had risked. " "So there it was. I'd said it out loud. After 10 years I wasn't very good at being married. We were in trouble. There was so much I didn't know and this lack was really starting to bite. " "There was no alternative and no second chance, we'd invested too much time, love and hope. Starting again was not an option. " "Later that day I noticed my shoe was back on the shelf. " Four years later... We had worked our way to a 'nice place.' Life was good. "I was scowling on the outside but smiling on the inside. For the third time in two weeks an acquaintance had sidled up and said 'I was driving and saw you and Rebecca walking hand in hand. You looked very lovey. " The full story can be read in the Look Inside feature. You will also find a full list of the contents. Check it out.
