Hi sandi and thanks for posting. I don't want to give wrong impression of W. She does collect kids 3 days a week from school and stays in house weds eve and takes girls most Fridays ( D13 never wants to go ). On most other days she does call I for 10 mins on her way home. My S16 has seen school counsellor but said it didn't help. I do tell the kids daily that their mum loves and misses them but my two Ds are very clinging to me and don't like it when I go out.
W has talked about returning to I/c but we will see
I see lots of signs that W is torn by her decision to leave but I won't mind read why
We have a neighbour who has just left his W and 3 kids and when my W was telling me this she was sobbing saying she was much worse than the neighbour as she was a WAW. I validated that she felt she had to leave and everyone's witch was different. I havnt mentioned R or M but I feel that my detaching is such that W believes I have moved on.
I will continue to post and again, I am always very grateful for any advice
