AJ, you are spot on about trying to compensate with the kids for their mother pretty much just pushing them out of her life. I would try so hard to find things, anything, that my W would do together as a family but she never seemed to want to or was always "too busy" or too tired. I thought it was part of her depression, not a choice she was making because of her MLC. (Of course I didn't know about MLC back then). After B-day whenever she would do something as a family and she seemed to enjoy it, she would end up spewing at me later and saying how she "had" to get away from me. Still don't understand that. As time goes on I'm sure things will start to become easier.
Heather and Wonka....I will do great on this interview!
