AAK,

"I see it as much needed action and at least in my case illumination."

You're right about this. I brought up the lack of respect to her because I felt it was time and also that it was getting harder to swallow on a daily basis. Little did I know that her response would be that she doesn't respect me because she has no love for me. Can't believe the stuff that comes out of my W's mouth nowadays.

But now I know that it's a cheeseless tunnel and I shouldn't have let it get to me. Time to build up my resistance again.

My gut is telling me to let her go and let her fall on her face. I totally would if it wasn't for my kids. My oldest was in the next room and heard us arguing. Later in the car, she looked at me in understanding. Like she knew I was the one who was trying and mommy wasn't. Sad to see them like that. It's like they're being forced to grow up faster than they should.
