Unlearning conflict avoidance 3

"I did take them on weekend trips - playing Viking, camping, riding railway bikes, etc. but I guess she still feels that it was not fair."

Of course not. She was there for the whole week while you just did the weekend thing. She probably helped them on their homework and projects. Taking up alot of time.

I would suggest you sit down and craft a very thoughtful letter detailing everything and post it here. Be specific. Don't just say "sorry for abandoning you." This has to show that you UNDERSTAND her POV. That you understand the hurt you've caused her,

sandi might be able to chime in on this.
