An A is a symptom of the problems in the R. It is not the problem itself. Think about what you can change in you to make you a better stronger individual. It's hard with kids. How old are yours? DB as best you can. If you are communicating via email. Keep things short and sweet and nothing about R. Be patient. Focus on your kids and yourself. You can do this. \:\)

You are absoultely right and I will do whatever I can. I have D11 and S7. I have them every other week for the entire week Fri-Fri. Its extremely tough at times to say the least. My son needs attention all the time and there's my work and the kids' extracurricular activities. When I don't have the kids I've got to deal with everything else that has piled up the previous week.

With the kids I have to be very careful as they are the primary medium of communication with W. If I scold them I'm in trouble, if I indulge them I'm in trouble. For example, today when I went to pack their lunch, I caught my daughter with something she had secretly put in her backpack from the house - she said W asked her to do this. I gave D11 a mini lecture on honesty, took the stuff out of her backpack and said if Mom wants something she has to ask me for it directly. Not sure this is the right approach but have to play by ear sometimes!? W has been trying to alienate me from D11.
