Thanks mach.

Is it fair for me to just step aside completely? Like I said before, I basically trained her to depend on me. thus far my game plan has been to let go of everything that does not directly effect my boys.

I am not sure I CAN completely step aside yet. I have found that letting go is actually almost liberating. I still want to protect the boys though.
One of the uglier thoughts that I have had is that if I let go regarding stuff with the boys, is that they will end up seeing her selfish (her words) actions and maybe feel like they are not a priority. I dont want to see W's relationship with the boys deteriorate.


I get your point about keeping score. Honestly I have not "thrown it in her face" but I have mentally kept score. that changes how I act. I get that.

More than once my WAW has almost had me convinced I am ready for the straight jacket.

I am trying to be the rock, trying to hold it all together. I am trying to to show the boys that they should work through adversity and handle tough situations head on with integrity and honor. Doing that without bashing their mom is proving to be a tough task.
