The separation is at 11 days. My apt is convenient and large enough for the children and me. I just need to focus on furnishing it for a family of four. I'm not sure how having the children for four weeks over the summer is going to affect my job. I will try to make up the hours during the weeks I don't have them. Only seeing them on weekends is the other option but that doesn't seem right.
My wife doesn't want to talk to me unless it's about the kids and then it's email. Now I'm going semi-dark.
She did say after the first weekend that she needs to stop feeling sorry for me because she forced me out to an apt without the children. I didn't have much of a response.
She has also complained about me not being on time for several pickups and how self centered I am. I didn't defend myself or argue that she was unreasonable. I will make sure the times are more firmly set and stick to them.
Since she loves to complain and is unreasonable I don't know what is an appropriate response. I used to defend myself, argue or apologize depending on my mood so I'm not sure what a 180 behavior would be.
Anyway, there's a lot more but posting from a Itouch isn't easy.
