Wow. Heather, that is some absolutely friggin' awesome advice and perspective. And spot on.
Matt, re-read Heather's post to you. You'll find some real value there.
If it helps Matt, I have the same kind of ex. Troubled barely even covers it. But the mistake I made was not cutting ties much sooner than I did. But once I took my eyes off of the nuttiness - guess what? Things got better for my kids and for me. In a hurry.
It's taken time to figure out how to let the crazy go. And the ex hasn't made it easy. Neither has her husband (the white knight). The sooner you start to learn to let the crazy go (I gave it up in 2009 - <crowd says>Hi AJ) the better for all concerned.
Takes practice and determination though, Matt. You can start right now.
