Hi Nikki, I did try to discuss this with her and the response at that time was simply, you reap what you sow.
I didn't really understand that so I asked what in the world does that mean? W told me that the emotional abuse I heaped on her was hidden for years, as opposed to physical abuse which would have been visible, so now she won't cover it up any more nor will she hide it from my girls, so they will know they can stand up for themselves.
Okay. I get that, yet there has to be a better way. At this point my only option is to answer my kids with an apology. I am sincerely sorry they have to go through this, I am sincerely sorry I hurt their mother.
I'm at a loss where to go with it from there. I would welcome your, and anyones, thoughts on this one. Kids or not, I believe help can come from a variety of sources, whether you have direct experience with children of your own or not. I'm willing to try any approach at this point. My kids are hurting so bad.
