Cadet,

What do you suggest? I don't want to be controlling or manipulative or whatever else she can think off or has in her head.

I am not looking for permission on how to act. I want to make things easier for my boys.

I have hurt but ok that we have split up right now. I have some hope left, but sometimes I fall weak inside.

I know she is trying to be strong and good for her, whatever it takes for her to heal or gets her to where she needs to be whatever that is.

She was the one who initiated leaving and displacing the boys not me. I was out of town when her mother decided to help her daughter move...and I know she wants her daughter to be happy but her mother is very blankity blank sorry to say.

I know wife wants to show and let me know she is a wonderful mom and may be feeling like she has done them wrong...who knows what but we need to do this better for the kids.

1. What am I suppose to speak to kids about?
2. What can and should I speak to wife about when it comes to the kids when I am trying to 180/LRT?

I keep on going back to step one and just need to start making progress.
