Thanks for chiming in. I wouldn't say it's needy I just say I miss my kids. Thing is that ever since my W dropped the bomb, she's been more emotionally distant with them also. I've tried to tell her, but I don't think she knows how to cope. It's like talking to a child who has their hands over their ears when you're talking to them.
Sad part is that they are the biggest casualty in all this and as a parent I wouldn't want them to experience any type of pain. Too bad their mom doesn't see it the same way.
I do understand how you feel. But, like you said, she is not responding to your requests. I suspect it may feel like pursuing to her. I am not saying it is logical.
You do not need to tell her how she is hurting the children. She will eventually see it herself. The 6 yr old will probably straight out tell her. What you can do is be the best parent possible, given the circumstances. Lead by example.
