Hi daring, You sound great. I really like how you called H out about the work you did with the lawyer. They do need to be reminded every once in a while that us LBS's are people too. It seems like they act ways towards us that they would never with others. As for the R with the kids, I'm going through some of the same. D15 is getting really tired of how W just doesn't seem to care much about what is important to her, tired of having a mother that acts like a teenager. For my part I let her vent and validate but don't try and inject my opinions. Her R with her mother is between the two of them. To be honest, D15's R with her mother has never been very good. For the last several years her mom never seemed to have time for her. It's just gotten worse since B-day.
You're doing great daring. Keep up the work on yourself and you are going to come through this so much better for it!
