Hmmm I will tell you what I am thinking. I am a father and my kids come first. I am very thankful to be a man that was able to keep my kids. They have been my world since she left and I focus on them and making sure they feel loved. I am not interested in anyone owing me anything. I don't want to do anything that will hurt them so I do not fight with my wife. What is the point? She was the best mom in the world up to the day she left. I think she deserves some credit for that and me doing any of the things you said would only hurt my kids. I understand where you are coming from but I am a pretty strong person, I am not worried about me and I am taking care of my boys. I am just trying to figure out what she is thinking. That is what I am looking for.
As for pride.... I hear it comes before a fall...
As you wish.
But the best moms in the world don't abandon their children and then waltz back into their lives a year later and start cooking and cleaning as if they are ENTITLED to do so and as if nothing ever happened.
You think she deserves "credit" for all the years she WAS a good mother?
GIVE ME A BREAK!
What the hell do you think she's been living off of for the last year? SHE gave HERSELF [undue] CREDIT A YEAR AGO AND THAT IS WHAT ALLOWED HER LEAVE. A self-inflated ego!
WAWs have a very warped sense of entitlement and THAT is what makes them ABLE to walk away - because they often think (selfishly and wrongly) they've put so much into everyone else that it's now time for them. Well the reality is this: THE JOB WASN'T DONE. She didn't have a right to pack her sh*t and walk out on two children, let alone you, but let's leave you out of the equation for now.
It is great that you stepped up and have been a good father to your boys but have you really given ANY consideration to what she has taught those boys BY LEAVING THEM?
Have you given any consideration to what she is showing them ABOUT YOU by just walking the hell back in?
I truly can't fathom how she can even show her face at your house.
She must think very little of you for letting her just waltz back in like you have.
This is all ass-backwards, man.
And it will not end up good.
But I wish you well.
And just so you know ...
Pride GOES before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall.
