@gingerw Thanks. I have several friends in the area and a few distant ones too that I talk with about things. We don't actually have that many friends in common. She doesn't enjoy the things my friends do and I have only met her local friends a few times. My daughters are doing fairly well. My eldest, who is 24 and on her own, got annoyed with me a few days ago when I wouldn't go into detail about the issues that her mother and I are having. She feels I should tell her everything and not try to protect her. I've talked to a few of my friends about some of the things I won't tell my daughter and they agreed I shouldn't bring them up. Ever. We did talk about a few things but there are a lot of things that she really doesn't need to know her mother has done. My other daughter is 15 and still at home. We talk daily about books, school, mental health, games, TV shows, martial arts, and a D&D campaign that she is writing. We talk a little bit about how her mental health is but I don't push on that topic. She sees a therapist every two weeks and that has been going well. I am also helping her learn to drive right now. No damage to the car yet! Neither of the girls were surprised when they were told we were getting a divorce. My eldest had been suggesting it for awhile and had kept asking what I needed to be happy. I brought our youngest out so the three of us could talk together about it. My wife called our eldest on her own to tell her later in the day. 30 seconds after my wife hung up the phone my daughter called to ask if I was OK.
All in all, I am doing OK.
