Alpha and WAW - part 2

[alpha99]

The holiday is already booked. I wouldn't need much spending money as I'm.very frugal. It would be more just a break away from things.

Regarding shocking W, my question is a direct quote from DR.

You're right twinmom, my opinion of W's parenting skills is poor. She's just not very good at looking after them, disciplining them, doing homework, maintain a good diet etc. I can't afford expensive legal fees and also I feel that would worsen things long term.

I have tried very hard not to say anything bad about W in front of kids. I haven't really said anything bad about her to anyone. I suppose I've come here to vent a bit. I'm not nasty or angry towards her. I guess the worse thing I've said in the last 6 weeks was today when I said I don't care anymore, she coukd go to hell. Even that was in a quiet calm voice. I know I shouldnt have said it though. That's the one thing I regret from today.

If I look back this last week has been positive, she's initiated conversation, asked me how I was, looked me in the eye when talking, no mention of big D, wanted to be nice for kids...but I think it's mainly all stemmed from her excitedness over New place rather than changes in feeling towards me.
