Those ^ are two of the finest, most concise, CLEAREST consecutive posts as you'll ever find on these forums.
I hope he follows them.

I dont happen to disagree with anything anyone has said here. I just need to exhaust all my avenues before I give up. ANd I cant fail here. This is not just my life IM talking about but my kids.
I think you need to take that mind-clearing walk that Coach just talked about. Cuz I'm not seeing where everyone advocated giving up. SOME did, but you've also been given a LOT of excellent boundary-setting tips and suggested scripts.
I just think you find them all very uncomfortable to pull off.

No, Im just in a place right now where I cant express myself properly. The script you provided is pretty dead on to what I ahve already done. I wont go back to having that man in our life. That path is now closed to her. But IM more focused on getting the zip back in between us. Because If I cant do that then she will leave at some point. WHo wouldnt? Am I unhappy, you bet, but I suffer from believing that there is no problem that I cant solve if I am willing to put the work in.
