Rough couple of days. My birthday is tomorrow. First one in 9 years that she won't be involved in. We have been going back and forth with Child Support. I feel like I'm being flexible. She feels like I'm not being flexible enough. I feel like a bank. Even her mom chewed me out today and told me that she won't let her daughter hit rock bottom. I feel bad that the STBX is hitting the bottom. I couldn't say anything previously to get her to stay, I have to come to terms with the idea that I can't say anything to change her mind or make her see anything.

I think I am trying to hard. I need to detach.

If we got the lawyers involved I would be detached. But what about the cost due to the adversarial relationship. Would it cause too much pain to every overcome?
