When is kindness enough?

[Ripe]

Well, I had a meeting with my family.
I decided that, in the kids interest, they should spend this year abroad with me.
School starts in a couple of days and they have their life organized there.
I decide to fight my W if she woulf be willing to bring the kids with her.
My mother accepted to move abroad with me in order to support the kids.
Later on I called my W to announce this decision.
Surprise, surprise, she decided to stay because the school would only return 40% ot the already paid anual tuition.
Considering she had decided to go back due to her health and depression issues, I suggested she could go back and the kids would stay with me.
She immediatly declined, saying she would never leave the kids behind.
Never mind this was what she had planned for me, to separate them from me.
She is again looking for a flat.

Out of this something good happened: I got closer to my family as never before and I know now I can count on them. This is a huge change in my life, the fact that I was able to share my feelings and emotions with them, and DB is responsible for it. W is not even aware of this, so definetely I did not do it because of her.v
