It is so frustrating but I am sure you know that all too well.
I have backed completely off, don't contact her, only reply to her texts when they deal with the kids in a polite and business like manner.
I am doing my thing, feeling more comfortable in my own skin and again feeling better now that I know I can take care of myself and my kids solo. I honestly felt that I was unable to do that but experience is a good teacher. My W said I was unable to "make it on my own" and "I have been carrying you a long time". Ouch. Each with the implication that I am nothing without her. So, booyah to that.
Again, I am so very happy for you and your continued upwards trajectory. You and your family are such a success story. Kudos.
Onwards
Thank you for your comments on my thread. It's always good to hear from you.
