You can't change anyone's mind, no. But a "truth" is a truth. It is powerful because--it IS the truth. They "diffuse" this truth with their arguments and "noise" in their head.
That is why saying it before leaving them, or using as the last thing you say on the phone, or best for you--the ONLY text she gets during that weekend is going to be so powerful.
You can't argue with a text. She will HAVE to dwell on it. You can FORCE her to do this! (fun, huh!!)
You send her one "message" over and over and over and tell your kids in front of her the "message" and she knows YOU are saying it to THEM and they are LIVING the message??
That a parent that loves them doesn't "give up" and fights for the "wonderful dad?"
