I spent some great time with the kids this weekend.
Thought a lot about our sit, and I think the kids are the only reason W hasn't pushed for a D. She had mentioned in counseling that "she's done", but I can sense that she knows how hard it would be on them if we were to D. I see so much pain in her eyes, and feel so much tension emanating from her when we are in the same room together. I know she is deeply conflicted.
Kids are still operating on the original statement W said which is "I got the apartment for 6 months so Dad & I can have some space and figure things out." 6 months is up at the end of March, and kids are going to wonder when the family will all start living together. Her approach has always been to push away the feelings and pretend everything is OK.
I feel like time is ticking away on another bomb due to explode April 1.
