CVA - Figuring out What's Next

[Not Much Left]

Hey L
Not really venting at all, just was stating that I am tired of saying to kids "you just go with your brothers and sister and mom" when he clearly wants to stay with me. We have a lot of fun together and the facts of being divorced may be stuff like this. I am not trying to pull them from their mom at all. It would be extremely intresting if I said, "OK, you go ahead to Dallas and WE, me and all the kids will have a nice time here. That way you can spend time with your family." I get it that this sound vindictive, I have gone through 14 yrs of doing exactly what SHE wants in these scenarios regardless how much I was working and didnt want to go, huh, I was trying to provide for our family and there she goes, off to Dallas and I am left to either go and be uncomfortable or stay behind and be the bad guy. I am just sick and tired of being the bad guy. If the kids were to ask "mom, why isnt Daddy going", W would just change the subject till the question went away. That is how she is....I of course take things head on all the time, not always good, but at least you know where you stand.

Hmmm, that even felt angry. Good pt. I will rethink all that.
