Deployed Soldier/Father needs your help

[SoldierDad]

Well,
had a pretty good day with Grandmother and boys. No talk about W with boys at all-not even brought up.

We have a few more days together, and I am going to make them count. I am establishing small boundaries with my boys, as far as their behavior etc. They have been living in a lawless home for 9 months, and it shows in their manners, and in their body language. I am correcting that as I go.

It is going to be rough dropping them back off to her, as I know she is going to punish them for them being with me. She will grill them, and make them feel bad for going with me. But I think they are both old enough to see right through that stuff.

I am doing my best to NOT think of her, and what she is doing. It works sometimes-other times I struggle.
