WAW leaving in June - Do I have time?

[Navyguy]

S2D:

I was in the EXACT same boat as you. I would call to talk to my kids, and then always end up talking to W for a minute or so. Occasionally they would already be in bed, and I would get mad because I miss them and then I would want to have a "talk" with W. These conversations NEVER went well.

I asked W if I was giving her the space she needs...and she told me straight up that every time I call to talk to the kids and then ask to talk to her it got her worked up, and she'd take a step back from me. It was hard, and took me awhile to figure out, but I finally stopped...and things have been looking up since then...

Sandi is DEAD ON with her advice...I know it's hard as hell, but keep it up, and don't let yourself backslide.
