House for sale. So Sad. Family Breaking Up (pt 2)

[RegretfulLA]

Floyd, some of the things you say about your W remind me of my H - the "stonewalling", the emotional abuse. Then when Bug said that she brought survival techniques with her from childhood, that made a lot of sense to me in my sitch. Did your W have a difficult childhood?

I feel you fighting so hard to bring things back to "normal." What Bustorama said about the LBS fighting to "fix it" really fits here. Your W seems absolutely bound and determined to get her D and move on, and I think she's distancing herself from the kids so that she isn't tempted to change her mind.

Continue to work on dropping the rope, turn away but don't close the door... you gotta live for you and the girls at this point... she is going to do her own thing. My H - same - although he's taking a lot longer...
