Kdog, I noticed the same. I have already seen changes in my other relationships and I need to not worry about the W's perception of them. she is doing things that are really not making sense. but, its her choice. unfortunately, the holiday is presenting times and issues where we are in contact via txt about holiday plans and times. So we are communicating.

My D 16 just vented all of her hurts about this today to me. I felt I should make the W aware of it. o I texted to tell her it happened and that D 16 wanted to make plans to see her. the D 16 was supposed to spend time with me and her Mom started to draw her away for the day. That made this venting session come up. I just let the W know that she vented and to take the time with D 16 instead of pulling her around. I'm not into that.

We shall see. the W keeps telling me she's so busy she "can't catch her breath". But I am here with the house ad the kids so, I don't feel like being sympathetic about that right now. She chose this path. I am just staying out of the way as much as I can. I told the wife I am trying to respect the space she asked me for.
