I tell him I'm sorry to hear about that, and that we didnt get physical, just other people are influencing ours...
Ddogs,
Your wife is going "batchitcrazy," as SmileyPerson would say, and you know we're all on your side here, including me. But that comment was just uncalled for.
Leave the kids -- and for GOD'S sakes, the kids' friends! -- out of it!!!
I agree. I'm sorry, I don't know your sitch well enough to know if you're in IC, but I would strongly recommend it. You need a safe place to vent and express your feelings. I think it would also help to you have a C support you in putting your children first in this situation. You and your W have made mistakes, and your children are the innocent parties here. You are their father and you can play a huge role in making mitigating the pain that they are going through. They are watching and learning from everything that you do and say. Every single word that you utter about D and separation to your children should be very carefully chosen.
Your W is by far a worse offender in putting your kids in the middle, but you can only control you right now. Being the best father that you can be right now is a good place to focus...there's no down side to it.
