I hate the idea of having her leave on such a sour note and such a negative last impression of me.
If they had a positive opinion of you; they wouldn't leave.
I certainly wasn't positive when I made myself clear to my W. I was serious! Her impression of you is HER deal. You have to do this for YOU and YOUR kids. It's for your own sanity. If this continues unabated in your household; you will go crazy.
