Thanks adinva.

Most of the time I do respond to her text fairly quickly, especially when its about the boys. But lately the text are about little/petty things that she already has, or if not should go and buy herself. (Im sorry but there is no reason anyone should be sending a text at 2:00am about a roll of Wrapping Paper)

I agree with you that she gets wound up when I don't respond right away, and I know I shouldn't let it get to me, but for some reason it does.

So, I did end up responding to her text the following day, and the next day I received a text from WAW that read:

WAW - We need to talk at some point soon.
ME - Im available this evening after 9:00, feel free to give me a call.

Im sure she wants to tell me how awful/wrong I am for not being available to her every beck and call. If that is the case, do I say something along the lines of that Im not always going to be available at a time that convenient for you and your every need. if something is a priority... kids grades, Conference's Health (physical and emotional) food, shelter etc I will do everything within my power/current circumstance to be available and openly communicate with you.

When It comes to the kids, I am always here for them.. But All of your other problems/needs/wants are not "my" problems anymore.

What do you guys think? Would that be an acceptable response?
