Get treated like crap and still be involved in everyone of beckon calls. Then even if I do that. She'll find fault.
Phil, they all treat us like crap. It's what they do. They are self centered and they only see what they want. In your W's mind, you and possibly your kids are root of everything tat is wrong with her life. I didn't say that was true, I only said that it how she sees it.
your job is to not fuel this feeling. Every time you argue with her or yell at her or tell her she is wrong and any other negative thing you do or say to her, you are confirming in her ming that she is right. When you are good to her, you are causing her to question her choices.
I know everyone goes on about a schedule to you, but if you had one, you wouldn't feel like you were at her beck and call. Right now she is using the kids to control you.
I know she works evening and a schedule is hard to do but there has to be a way. For example, something like this; When she works night, she drops the kids off to you before work and they spend the night with you. In the morning, you take them to school and she picks them up after school and has them until she goes to work. Then you divide evenly the days that you both have off. Does this make sense? I don't know your entire situation, so this is only an example.
