bravo -- why are you buying her gifts? I know it's Xmas and all, but this is one of the basic rules. No gift giving. And it sounds like your W doesn't want the burden of your gifts right now.

(jim -- may I recommend making a new tradition for Xmas with just you and the kids? Cookie making and delivering cookies to neighbors? Ice skating? Be creative. Build new memories.)
