Accuray, thanks for your words of wisdom. I was feeling like I was being too much of a pushover by giving in and trying to stay friendly. I was very hurt and angry initially and wanted to show her that her decision to end our marriage will have consequences. When I explained that because I'm not in her life, that I should pull the living expense money but not the food money. That shot across her bow backfired and she used the kids as a shield to guilt-trip me. So I finally gave in on the next conversation and just told her that since her mind is made up to quit, that I'm tired of fighting and I don't like the angry person she's bringing out of me. Let's just do what we have to so the kids won't suffer from us fighting. That was my rationale for trying to be friendly.
