So the only way I know how to stop is to stop communication
I feel like I don't have the right to talk after my rant, but...
I face this too. I do well until I talk to W and then emotions always come up.
As only talking about kids may be the only way to manage now, I am thinking that during that time, we would need to find another solution (detachment), as you and I both know that we will talk to our W again and if nothing has changed other than avoidance, then nothing has changed.
Just talking out loud, for myself as much as you.
