Trying Again

[topgunmb]

Definitely things that I need to work on and improve at, for sure.

As for the texts and FB messages about the kids, those are usually messages that are concerning care of the kids or comments on things the kids are doing while they are visiting her family. She doesn't hesitate to contact her mom. She and her mom are really good friends, which is good and bad in some cases. MIL is a very bitter and emotional person where relationships are concerned. FIL had an A when W was in high school and ended up leaving the family for OW. But, I also know that MIL cares for me and is torn about the situation.

In any case, I'm sorry to hear that your W doesn't want to spend time with your kids. My W does things with our kids and it's not always as I or they would have it. But, at this point, I will take any contact she has with them as a positive opportunity.

I have come to accept that sometimes, this situation is more the drop of water against the stone. It is often VERY slow and sometimes takes awhile to fall. There are many times where I wish it could be a full on waterfall, but it's better than no drop at all.
