I am not sure why and it will be helpful to you if you don't even try to understand why she does the things she is going to do! Sometimes it is easier for the WAS to avoid the LBS, esp when you aren't angry because it makes their feelings even more confusing.

Keep doing what you are doing and throw in some GAL where possible. I know that it isn't easy as a single parent of 3.

You are not crazy for not giving up. Many have waited and their Ms have worked out. My H and I spent 4-5 years in h@ll and when I found this site we were headed for divorce. He had left me emotionally many times during the years we were struggling but the last time was different. I knew our M was over and. I was making plans accordingly, all while DBing. We are now back together and our M is much stronger and a lot more enjoyable. It really can happen but you have to be patient, WAS move at their own pace. I should also tell you that our ordeal started because I was the WAS, A and all, and most of those 4-5 years were hl because I couldn't figure out what I wanted. So give your W space and, although your interactions are few, be friendly and positive whenever you see her.

What is your plan for Christmas? Has she mentioned coming to be with the children?
