Thanks, 2TP. I am working to validate at every opportunity. I have dropped any effort to defend. I did say to my W that there were many things I would do differently if I had the M to do all over again. When I did, she said, you should have and if you would have we wouldn't be in this situation! I agreed whole heartedly. She shook her head and told me that she did not know why she had to file for D to get me to change when I had so many opportunities to change and she had been telling me to get my act together in so many ways. Not sure how to read that. She has told me in the past that what I am doing is too little too late but, she has not said that in a while. She now says that she does not want to take the risk of giving me a second chance.
