Hi Mnt Man, I've been reading thru your threads the past coulpe of days, and just wanted to let you know how much I sdmire your love, loyalty and steadfastness. 

You're the rock of sanity and stability for your boys right now. You're doing great in a horrible situation. The poor kids sound so devastated already. I hope and pray W realizes what she's doing to them, and does not take that new job. Or move in with that trashy woman. 

"She no longer considers any long term consequences. I hope I can lead her to these answers without pushing."

Pushing wouldn't help, it would probably just make her feel more justified for leaving. But I agree with the others, you can valudate her statements without making her feel you agree with her. My DB coach Chuck told me to try saying something like "you know I do not like what you are doing H, but understand how you feel"

Hang in there, MM.
