Trying to wrap my mind around the situation

[TwinDad]

Thanks Jen,

I do agree with, I feel like I am being taken advantage of and it is very difficult. The biggest problem I am having is that my W is so stubborn and defensive that she is just the type of person who would cut their own arm off just to show they could even if everyone in the world was telling her it was a bad idea.

I have been letting her wait a bit when responding and have been trying not to get my hopes up or really have any expecations and it seems to been having small noticeable changes. I think when I have the kids again, it will start to sink in again. I also haven't been initiating any contact. It seems the more I do this the more she is eager to contact me (even when I don't have the kids)
