Kemper, I just flushed my little mind game tactic down the toilet (twice). I will let you know on the "shielding" subject if it ever comes up.
MSH, the thing is, I do not completely blame the OM for the break-up of my M. If we had a good M, the OM would have never been a factor. Obviously, without the OM the W would have likley vested more energy into saving the M but who knows.
C-bart, in another thread you mention the W should be held responsible for her decisions to the kids (D, family break-up etc.) I agree but how do approach that subject. From her perspective she will think I am trying to make her look bad and conversely, trying to make myself look the good guy. And, I really do not want the kids to think negatively about their mother.
