hi there Arthur - nothing much to say i'm afraid apart to let you know that i'm checking in on your sitch daily - only thing to observe is that I understand how frustrated you must feel with the sitch with your W at the moment - and it must be 2x frustrating to get baited at your S6's parents' evening- given that the focus was about him and how he's getting on...
The way you report it though - although an interpretation of this is that your W is on a different plane/plain (not sure how that metaphor works!) likely suggests a very high level of stress on her part - sure it is actually and that comes out much more negatively and confrontational than the sitch demands - this thing is between you two, and as you tried to point out - should not involve the boys.
Arthur - its hard, but "keep buggering on!!!" And keep doing all you can to keep the boys out of this - keep your focus on doing the best you can for the boys IN-SPITE of everything that is happening - you're a big boy and will deal with stuff - they're babies and need the care and love of both of you - which you know - but just thought worth reiterating - cos when it comes down to it - they are completely innocent parties in this - as is my s6. I think MfromT would agree that that the way to go is to keep doing your best to take the "high road" - that way - way down the road you'll find yourself in a much better and personally stronger position...
i'm not telling you anything you don't know and not counselling you to do anything that you're not doing - just trying to add weight to the path that you're taking...
IMHO...for the time being - just keep them at the fore-front of your mind when in negotiations (of any sort) with your W - your interests can come later...
KBO and take care...GFI
