D1 stood up by herself this morning. Normally she needs something to pull up onto, but she adjusted herself, stuck her butt in the air, and stood up. Too cute!
All I get out of W is negative, and when I've asked her during the beginning of our S to name anything positive about me she has not been able to think of a single thing. Rage is the name of the game right now... W is comfortable accusing me of everything short of being Hitler.
Her attitude is completely negative and it is affecting the children, and ultimately they and I deserve better. There is no reason for me to look back. I know she is justifying her A, but when she made it a legal issue and started withholding D1 as "punishment" for my sins real or imagined it is no longer a question of whether I can save my M but whether my M is worth saving.
Each day that passes slips that scale further to the no answer and I'm feeling more and more comfortable with that. I have no reason to subject myself or my children to legal risks by trying to work things out with her down the road. Best to use my advantage and be done with her.
I know they say not to involve others in your M and the decisions you make - but ultimately everyone in my family is 100% solidly in the "run like Hell" category. Given the situation and circumstances, nobody would support me giving her another shot.
I'm not sure I'd support myself. She has done too much damage... and she has been intent on doing that damage to assuage her own guilt.
I just feel empowered more and more each day to break free from what has been an unhealthy relationship for me and my children.
