When my oldest left the house, she tried to hug him, he just brushed past her and got in the truck. I told him he needs to respect his M, and he quickly replied "she doesn't respect us or you, so why should I respect her?"


Wow! Very smart young MAN. And you handled this perfectly. This is precisely why you have to model strength and honor for your boys. Where else are they going to see what a REAL man is supposed to be and do? Good job friend.

I am really sorry you are going through this and even more so because your W is letting loose with some extremely inappropriate behavior and words. Take a deep breath, step back and see her behavior for what it is - desperation. Vindictiveness is NOT born out of security, strength and honor. It is the product of fear and weakness. She can't elevate herself to your level, but she can sure as he11 try to pull you down to her's. And that is why she is doing it - it's her only weapon. Don't fall into that trap buddy. And you won't.

Have a great time with your boys at your mom's. They really need you right now. They need to know you love them and that no matter what you will always be there for them.

I am continuing to pray for you (and many others here).

Oh, and keep venting here. Much better to us than someone in your family.
