You do not think you would be in a better place if you had taken a harder stance earlier?
I'm gonna respond to this again as I've had some time for reflection. I was very upset/sad a couple of weeks ago and doubting the path I had chosen.
I've concluded I made the right choices. If I had taken a harder stance earlier it would have all been a lot messier and more painful for all involved. I talked some of this out with a friend recently and their third party perspective help me come to this conclusion.
I have my moments about being divorced and co-parenting the kids but emotionally I'm OK as far as X is concerned.
"The answers are within you" (can't remember who). Unfortunately, so is the bullshit.
