Yes, this is the same camp that they have always gone to and now all of a sudden the kids start whining about how they hate it and the W says - See you don't listen to anyone - you call all the shots! So, yeah, maybe some manipulation by STBXW.
I keep on this path and it gets me to 1 thing - D. If I get of the path, I guess I will get 1 thing too D. So there is nothing left to do but continue on the Batan Death March.
So Caliguy - what do I stand to gain if I hold this ground? What do I stand to lose if I surrender it for the greater good? I will gain self respect, self reliance, etc... I will lose family stability, my life as I used to know it.
This is clearly a no win situaion. This is the worst feeling in the world friends.
I know my STBX - she will not back down. She has even told me that even if the OW walked away tomorrow, the D will still be on becuase the last 9 months have shown her what a controlling freak I really am and how she can't stand me. Yawn.
