You need to stop and think and not talk try it for a day.

And then another day

and then another day


Hey! Give me some credit. I said I'd like to send the letter Sunday so that I would have 2 days to stop and think and not talk. But we have to say something to the kids.

I hear you. I need to back off. So... can I say nothing? Can I say, "I'd like to decide what to tell the kids."? Or do I send her "This is what I'm going to tell the kids Tuesday. I'm open to comments.", or do I just say what I want to say and leave her out of it?

We are going to have a joint counseling session (MC is not the word for it at this point) Monday and I want her to have a day to think about it so we can talk about it in session so that we're on the same page Tuesday when I talk to the kids.

Being left out of decisions or things happening suddenly or my taking unilateral actions are triggers of hers.

Does being detached me not caring if I'm pushing her buttons?
