That is what I did last summer. I got tired of watching her act like everything was the same at it always was. She wanted to live at home, do everything as a family, be around the kids all the time, but wanted her space and independence and wanted D. I finally had enough and basically mader her tell the kids. Then, throughout the summer as she waffled back & forth it tore up S8. He'd see wanting to do everything like we always would. I have always take them S8/S3 to baseball games (MLB), always went as a family. When the S started, S8 would always ask if M could go too; or where ever we would go or do. We always got along great. The S8 would inevitably ask, "is M not wanting the D anymore? Are you guys getting back together?" I've been holding out hope W might still change her mind, again. I can't do that to Ss again. I don't want them to hope & hope and hope. Then see it come true, then have them crushed again.
But I am also tired of her hiding from the truth. The sad part, she really does believe everything will be ok for the kids. W's C has convinced her of this. She's read articles about kids being resilent and surviving D's.
I'd really like to know what the likelyhood is of W coming back a second time.? Or, since we've already danced this once is it pretty much done.
