It is hard for me to hold my ground with this. It is not usually in my nature - I am a compromiser (if that's a thing) a giver, a your needs above my own type of person. This is opposite of what I have ever done. It does feel empowering, but makes me feel like an a-hole too.

Yesterday, she said she went to speak to her aunt about an empty condo that she could rent - I said that's good.

Today she's back to tears. She feels we are acting out of anger. She asked me if we could go see a MC to work through this and help see each other's perspectives and not act out of anger (I don't feel angry by the way). and eventually take the kids to help them cope. I said that I would consider this. I don't think it is to R at this point, but it may help us cope.

Then she asked me if I would like to plan something with her and the kids to get away for a couple days. I don't know about this and I told her that (I think she was again surprised by my reluctance). She said she is going to go. Maybe she should just go with them somewhere.

found yesterday that her license is now suspended and has a court date set for dui.

I am working today so S17 & I can go fishing tomorrow or Tuesday.
