“I am sorry that you feel that you don’t owe me an apology. I respect you honesty. How can I help you to feel differently about it?”
Great answer!
I am constantly working on validating her feelings . We have not had an R talk in several weeks, other than me asking if she has found a place to go.
I know there are different things I could and should be doing. Right now, I am just holding my boundaries and not putting up with CB. If she doesn't want to be here, I WANT HER TO LEAVE. The only time we have a calm discussion is after I go to the lawyer or she does. Then things are calm for a day or so. I should be pressing forward with the D. Like I said, I can't be the one to leave my kids.
How to lead without leaving myself, that's my big question.
