Wife Said She's Done

Me too ScottCat. It is a rough ride and hard to keep from hoping they're changing their attitudes towards us in their heads/hearts. I need the constant reminders from the boards to detach too.

It is weird that sometimes the reaction is not what you think it will be - I think it drums home the idea to have no expectations and take whatever you get as a gift. I had what I thought was a significant setback last night - kids were crying at dinner after spending previous night as 1st night away at Dad's new apartment - so after almost an hour of comforting them while they cried, I called my husband and had him talk to the kids - then I took the phone and told him that they hadn't seen this coming and neither had I and that I couldn't understand how he couldn't work through things with me at least for their sake: I knew that this is against my recent attempts to go dim and just leave things alone, but I get so sad when the kids are so sad too and try to get through to him. Well, this morning he texted that he wants to come to share dinner and watch a movie with us tonight. I don't get it. I also need not to read too much into it - because he is trying to make the kids happy, not me. I need to detach. Detach. Detach.
