A couple of people have pointed out to me that W is asking for me to be as interested in the kids and caring for them as a stereotypical mother would be, all while she has next to abandoned them. It messes with my mind a bit.
Dan, choose carefully who you talk to. Comments like this are not helpful at all in your sitch. All of us with WAS's have thoughts like this. I found that there were plenty of friends who could give BS advice and tell me how horrible W is. I've even mostly cut off my parents for this reason. They're all just trying to make you feel better, but most of them haven't been through something like this. Make sure you're listening to people who help you fight for your M.
It's good that you're facing this single-dad thing, because if she comes back you'll appreciate her more, and if not, you'll be fine.
