Labug,

Thanks for the kind words. Is it normal to feel empowered and hopeless the next hour? Is is really hard for me to not want to try and fix things (i.e. my marriage).

I took your advice to heart about my W providing a road map for the problems in our M. My R with the kids is sooo much better and they no longer follow the W wherever she goes.

I am hoping you can help me with this: W told me I was not there for such a long time regarding us, the kids and finances. I am doing more for the kids and when it comes to finances it is getting better. If my W is telling me I have not been there is it the best to detach from her? We are talking more and I do not see her pushing back as much as she used to. Wouldn't that be counter intuitive to improving our R? Just wanted your perspective. I really appreciate the advice you and others have provided.

SIW
