Cooperate with her (especially in co-parenting). Own your mistakes, but don't take blame for her neglect or downfall. Not to be mean, but for her own good and to help her deal with truth.
Thanks, I can say that over the last couple weeks, this is one thing that I did change and it does seem to make it easier on me emotionally. I'm no longer scared to tell her how I feel about what's best for the kids.
She asked me today why it feels like I don't think she's being a good parent right now. After a long pause as I was trying to collect myself, debating if I should say anything, the MC told me to tell her what I was thinking. I said to her "You left the kids and walked out on them. They are still confused and hurting because of that and its going to take me a while to get over that happening to them." She didn't say anything in response.
