thanks UD. I am trying. She'll be coming to S12's game tomorrow and he's looking forward to it. I texted her back to confirm I'd had the talk with d16 about continuing to approach with respect. We deserve it. I also texted he to say that I understand and accept her feelings and thanked her for sharing them. I told her, I am working to improve my listening and that I am making good use of our time apart to continue to grow.
My kids are detaching from her and I told her today, the come what may I really don't want the to suffer needlessly and I will focus my efforts to ensure the family lands as safely as I can from this trouble.
I realized that she doesn't care about my opinion much. At least she's talking a little. She was exhausted and upset when we were done.
