Wow! She is saying a lot here. Do you think, and I think we talked about this before, that she has distanced herself from you and the children because she knows she is not healthy for them?

If that is the case, I wish she would face her problems and work them out instead of running away. I have felt the same way about my W. I do see her getting closer to our children. I have also seen other signs that, although she doesn't allow me to be close to her, that she is bring material and "live" objects closer to her. She was wearing a Christmas sweatshirt I gave her several years ago when I saw her earlier and she wants our cat (I gave our cat to her seven Christmas' ago) in her apartment. She has the teddy bear that I gave her about 8 years ago and many other things.

On a funny note, I tease the kids when they say they don't know if they want to spend the night, I will say "I will spend the night with your mom in your place". That always gets a chuckle from them.
