Thanks, all.

MC, right now I would be fine with even a most basic level of reconciliation -- semi-congeniality and civility. We don't necessarily have to be best friends anymore, but we need to get along at least cordially, without this hostility, for the sake of our two small children.

Oh, yes, LT. Very much. I have come to realize that what I need to do is the right thing, even if that too damns me. At least I can then live with myself, even if she still refuses to.

What I should not have done was allow myself to get angry, especially with our S's present. It didn't help the situation, and gave her what she really wanted -- another tool to bludgeon me with, now and later.
