As my Dad always told me. "Talk is cheap. JUST DO IT!" He also likes to say. "Put up or shut up".
You get the picture.
Your girls will love you either way Kevin. You have tried. You were and are a stander. At some point they will also think your a doormat if you let this DISRESPECT continue.
It's time for her to $hit or get off the pot.
All this is doing is letting the resentment build. What happens in 4 mons from now when she files again because she met Mr. Wonderful. Will the time had made a difference. Set your boundaries now.
Did you miss my point about the Tim McGraw song? What if you were told you only have 6 mons to live. Would you spend it waiting for your WAW that is confused and screwing around or would you start enjoying your life without her.
If you would only take a stand and show her strength and that you wouldnt want her back she might start to care. But since you are still jumping at everything she says or does she knows that she still has to wrapped around her finger. She knows that she can play the guilt card against you whenever she wants. Show her that you no longer are going to play that game. Make 2010 the year that Kevin took back his self-respect. Found his inner strength. Gave up drinking and any other addictive/reactive behaviors. Do you need Rob Schneider yelling "You can do it!!!" outside your bedroom window? Come on man. She's not worth it. You and your girls deserve better treatment. Go to the bathroom and yell FREEEEDOM!!!! like Mel Gibson in Braveheart.
Now charge up that hill soldier!!! Keep on going until you hit the top!!!!
oh and also go rent "It's a wonderful life and family guy" cry your eyes out and move on to live your life. Dont you deserve to be happy???
