For the guys with kids and a WAW

[hopeful4her]

Question. I am not trying to initiate any R talks. Do I respond to WW if she initiates? I was thinking no, but then I always respond to her. Most times it just ends up going back and forth. I tell her to just leave. She says she's not leaving without the kids. I don't love you anymore. Yes you do, you just try to convince yourself. Blah, blah. But lately, they seem to be sinking in. Me holding my ground and telling her the consequences. She tells me that I am threatening or trying to scare her. I calmly tell her that I'm doing nothing more than telling her the facts.
Are these conversations good or am I just fooling myself?
