Yeah, I hear you on this bonfire idea. I can't tell you how much I want to destroy that thing. And if it's not that, then it's the laptop or something else. Non-stop.
And thanks for the comments on kids. The kids are what really complicate the dynamic for me. I don't think W understands that they're getting minds of their own and are going to be figuring things out, like about the OM. My parents divorced when I was very young and I never really forgave my mother for initiating it in like 30 years. But W is in la la land and thinks the kids would adjust great to it, love the OM, and all will benefit from it. There's zero recognition of any loss or sadness involved. That's part of what's so maddening about this to me. It's like I don't have a rational counterpart to negotiate with.
