DF...no ...she doesn't follow. She attacks in front of the children. Our family counselor told me to do the following:
-I will not listen to this in front of the children. Then walk away.

It doesn't help. All her abuse occurs unexpectedly and usually in front of the kids. It DOES need to be over. STBXW is truly toxic now. Eg:

I texted her yesterday that I sent her an email. The email was with regards to D6 and playing sports, vacations times, etc. Her response:

Quote:
STBXW: Texting has been fine so far. I don't have daily access 2 my email anyway so it is the most reliable way 2 communicate. And brief and 2 the point is sufficient. If I want to read anything long winded of substance I will read Tolstoy himself. No further email from you are necessary.


Yes WCW....S9 does the car, but, unlike me at his age, he has no interest yet in working with his hands. I don't want to push him nor do I want him to feel obligated to do things I did. I simply try to expose him to many things. For now, he loves baseball so I enroll him in as much BB stuff as he wants to do.

I have the kids tonite so I want to wish everyone a very Happy and Healthy New Year. New beginnings in 2010.

And Jeff.....I'll be OK. The attacks are so bad that I am looking forward to getting this done.
