Hi rd, While I don't post anything about my sitch anymore, I do however try to catch up on yours on a weekly basis. You Are very strong and doing great job with your children but the others are correct in saying you need to distance yourself more from w. It was w choice to seperate herself from you but when things get tough for her she relies on you. From what I've read and experienced this is a typical WAS trate, leave her be rd she needs to feel the weight of her choices, it reminds me of taking the stabilisers off a child's bicycle. You've done your bit rd, get busy living again and let w worry about w, I know it's hard but it's the way it has to be mate. I've not read the books so not sure if it's good advice but Its advice based on my own experience and I can tell you for absolute fact that you will feel better for it. You don't have to be cold or nasty, just don't catch her when she falls everytime. There's no need to be trying to show her what she's missing, she will realise it herself when the time comes, what she does from there nobody knows , you just take care of rd and children. hope I've not spoken out of turn or broken board rules in any way, just trying to offer support.
