I'm so glad you had a nice time with your son, Charlie, and that you realized that you need some balance between focusing on your M and kids. Mine were already "grown up" (in years if not in maturity LOL) when our voyage into MLC began, so it does not bother them in the same way. It hurts me to see that my sons have lost a lot of respect for their dad though. Do you have any more family activities planned for the summer?
It must be upsetting for you that your W is acting more isolated and cold. The months before BD were a killer, that's when my H started telling me everything he did not like about me and I was running around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to make him happy. I felt like he hated me sometimes, so mean. Did your W do that too, or did she just act distant?
Good luck with your MC session tomorrow. Is he or she a MLC-saavy counselor? My first counselor said she did not even believe in MLC. And was of no help to me at all.
