I thought everything was okay.....(Part 3)

[MCS]

So, when we last left me; I'm struggling with any communication with the W about co-parenting....namely schedule. W throws idea over the fence and when I don't agree, she shuts down from talking to me. Trying to figure out how to at least get a little communication going outside of Counseling (mediation,) seems MC is trying to do the same thing. Suggesting different ways to establish more communication. Also suggested to have kids come in to see him. I just need to let the MC try and work it out, I guess. Problem is the schedule is one of the final things that I think W is using to put me as the cause of her unhappiness, IDK.

I'm unsure why W seems to appear so threatened by me. I have not been anything but cordial, to no avail. I have been more firm on boundaries and making W responsible for decisions she's made (no Mr. Nice Guy)

So, something is up today with my detachment. I'm not sure what it was, but I'm feeling a whole lot more detached today.

I don't know if it was talking with W at counseling (mediation) yesterday made me realize how far Wayward she is right now. It's like I've never met this person before. I don't know if its how strangely she is acting or the fact that she totally trivialized anything that the kids said to her about the sitch. Which infuriates me....

W: "They are just trying to use asking me to come home to get what they want for other things"
W: "The only reason that they say to you that they want me to come back is because I did everything for them before"

The she used my pet peeve phrase "Kids are resilient" I can't stand that. Someone on here said how WAS use it to justify doing things w/o taking the kids emotions into account.

Well, S5 comes home yesterday with a drawing for mom that has MCS, W, S5, D4 and Dog; with a big roof over all of us. Says, this is for mom to show her that we are all together.

Anyway, enough of that. I found myself in a good mood today and not checking DB forums at all during work. Also, had a meeting at work that I totally made into a fun, laid back, joking meeting for my team. Its been a stressful time at work and I and they needed to not take ourselves too seriously today.
