When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade.:)

It seems that with the custody laws in your country, you did get more than the usual amt of time with your kids. Take advantage of that as much as you can. Your W's boyfriend, and you can start to think of him as that, isn't your problem.

Start practicing negotiating with XW now on little things. If you don't get what you want, try again the next time. Take it in small steps.

Over time, this R with your XW is gong to change, you really have control (unless you has a mental illness) of how that goes.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do.
I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.
