Thank you for sharing this post MHL.
TG, that was very moving and hit me between the eyes.

I've struggled with similar emotional rollercoasters since stbx left and fought VERY hard to get her and the kids to reconnect. While it has resulted in daughter staying with her mom full time, I am very happy to read this as it reinforces that I did the right thing. It hurts, but the reinforcement helps.

Not even sure why I was reading your post tonight. Hmm.. good thing I did though smile

Hang in there and let the kids and their mother work it out. As Jack pointed out, you have nothing to lose by letting her know exactly how you feel. Let her be the one to hang up and put distance between you. Your daughter and son need you, and that should be your focus, right?

Peace,
AJM
