I see your new to us. Welcome to the Board.
When there are children in the "line of fire", a good rule of thumb is to always protect them first, which is what you did by throwing out your ABF. No one ever said or claimed that doing the right thing is easy. It is, more often than not, hard. And it's also understandable that you miss your ABF. When we have to remove those we love from our lives, it's supposed to be tough. But I would remind you that the reasons that you did what you did by tossing him out are just, valid, and correct.
And while riding out the storm is going to have its highs and lows, you'll be OK. Just keep doing the right things, like sharing with us. Be safe.
