My focus has been on me and the kids for the past year and I have seen that they have grown closer to me and further away from her in that time. She also blames me that my attitude has changed the she is towards them and she's losing that connection she had with them. I have yet to bring up the fact that when she isn't working she's out with her friends and barely there anyway. And when she is there she is either talking on the phone or texting.

This was the house that I grew up in and no I don't want to lose that. My mother passed away a few years ago and being there makes the sting of losing her a little easier to handle. It also makes me very happy that the kids are gorwing up where I did. My W seems to think that me being the man that I should be the one to leave. And she hates me even more for not agreeing to that.
