Jon, I understand what you are saying. This has however been fairly helpful for me as I've allowed my W to define what constitutes normal behavior during our relationship and it's nice to hear from others that no, I'm not crazy, her behavior is out of line. In this case, it was helpful to put a frame of reference around what W is asking of me in regards to how I interact and treat the kids. The fact that she has basically abandoned them is just a place of hypocrisy.
I see what you're saying. That was helpful for me early on as well. The problem was, W and I complained so much to our friends that none of them support the M anymore. So just be careful. And as long as what she's asking you to do is actually a good thing (be a better dad), try and listen as much as you can.

"Adventures" is a good way to describe it. Hang in there, you're in a good place. Keep us updated on the MC. What happens? What is it like?
