Maybe not too complicated to understand

W is not in a very good place to be the primary parent

This is something that my counselor has also pointed out. W's decision have been terribly selfish towards the kids' and their well-being. I have had to talk her out of quite a few things already and, even though I stressed the impact her actions would have had on the them, they have been difficult battles.

She acts more like their spoiled older sister a mother. Last night her behavior really came across as really bratty - I've seen it before but it's becoming more ingrained. She expects everyone to give her concessions and cannot handle any form of pushback. She doesn't seem to care that the other 4 members of this family are impacted by everything she does.

Interestingly enough, one of her chief complaints is that she has grown while I have not.

As for the lawyer, I have to admit that this is something I have dragged my feet on. I guess it's that feeling of finality. Even so, I need to accept that there is a good possibility I will need one. Regardless, it would be best if at least one of us had an idea of what a D truly entails and what rights I have.
