Just back from the first week of my unplugged holiday with the kids. Amazing time. Great to spend each and every day with them, and explore and create new experiences. Looking forward to this week as well. Of course, I had to come back into civilization for awhile, and this is when things got a bit bad.
While I was away, I could receive texts, but not send. Of course, not one came from my W to ask about the kids. She sent generic emails before they left to each child incase we had internet access. We didn't. I had a few questions from the kids about their Mom, but that was it.
Came back today, she came to the house to see them for a bit. I went out. Came back, she brought the kids back, broke down, said I'm controlling what she does because we have a flexible schedule right now. Called me controlling, dismissive and freaked out, said I was treating her like a babysitter. I had to resist suggesting that her current level of involvement is actually similar, and complimenting her on her analogy. Didn't think that would do any good.
Essentially, she's frustrated as her time is coming to an end where she is not working full time. She won't be able to realistically maintain any kind of R with the OM once she starts work, and the kids start activities. Of course this Is all mind reading, but she texted me all kinds of crap about her being allowed to have a life without me knowing what she is doing. I said I don't care what she's doing, and my focus is on spending as much time as possible with the kids. Especially on holidays.
I'm taking them away again for the rest of this week, until the weekend. Don't really feel like much has changed with her. Of course myself, I'm even more detached, which is good. Can't complain about that.
