Our daughter did have something to do with it, or otherwise we probably would have never had a reason to be in contact again.
I can't really speak for his changes, but I sure did make a lot. I became extremely self-sufficent in all areas to the point that I don't "need" anyone else. I can choose to be with someone. My self-esteem is the highest it's been in years, and I've become more accepting and tolerant of others. I've learned not to try to change people.
He also has become a different person, and being a father definitely made him grow up. I think the fact that he had to do it all alone because we weren't together opened his eyes to what it takes to be a parent. We've also both had people who were very close to us die recently and that makes you look at things differently.
In other words, people change and grow up every day. What brought us back together was a strong physical attraction followed by the fact we never stopped caring for each other somewhere deep inside.
