Kev, There is nothing wrong with "Standing" for what you believe in. As long as you are doing it for YOU. The only way it will be about you is YOU stop talking to your WAW about any of it. Just talk to her about the girls and thats it. Just WORK on becoming the best version of yourself that you can. You need to forget about her having anything to do with your HAPPINESS. If you get served tomorrow you would melt. You need to build your self and your LIFE up so that CANT happen.

You are being a great father to you girls. Keep it hope and rejoice in that. Now take care of yourself like you are your girls. Which CANT have anything to do with your STBX.

Nice job on telling her you had plans. She was probably looking to USE you again to watch the girls. Hold your ground and she MIGHT start to RESPECT you. Do it with KINDNESS though.
