Sandi - thanks so much for the encouragement! I'm very happy to be in control of my life once again. I have spent 2+ years dancing around trying to do everything I can to make W happy. Watching kids for her, bought laptop for her to use at school, and so on - she repays by starting to date OM.

SingleDad - I agree with Sandi - don't invite to any more events. If OM is involved it is the utmost of disrespect and insults. I also am trying to do just what Sandi said: soft yet firm. I'm being very firm with W ,but I go overboard being extremely kind and thoughtful. Like when I told her that she couldn't get kids early, I said, "It'll be my first Christmas without them, and I want to spend every minute with them I can." I could have said, "Biotch, get on your OWN time!" \:\)
