twice now she has mentioned that if I wanted to have the kids less, she would be open to discussing having them more. That's not going to happen.
Imageer, I hate what your wife is doing.
On the other hand, the kids are not a weapon.
I feel this strongly. When the kids are used as a weapon, it is not healthy for anyone. The kids need their parents, even if the parents are broken. If it is safe for the kids - no abuse, no drugs, no physical danger - then they need to spend time with their parents. Both of them. Even if the parents don't agree on a common lifestyle, the kids need their parents. Please consider carefully your stance on the kids.
