You are in agreement that I need to bend on this friendship issue as long as it benefits the kids. That is what I am taking you both to mean here. That makes me sad but of course if it helps the kids, then I will do it. I am not in this to win but to minimize the damange to me AND KIDS.
Yes, W and I are basically in NC at this point. I can do nothing, say nothing, or even breathe right by her, so I just avoid her. I am too emotionally fraught as it is. I don't need any more stress in my life.
