Yes, it definitely suks, no question about it. Our sitchs are very similar. Just have to stick it out, one foot in front of the other, one day at a time. Be the best you/me we can be. Be the best dad/mom we can be. Maybe our estranged will come around maybe they won't. Maybe we would agree to work on it if they did, maybe we won't. I am so frustrated and mad what she has done to our family from so many perspectives. From emotional to financial, our kids... they seem so different already, nasty to one another, so much time on ipads, poor manners now... it kills me. Even two days with me and they seem better but maybe that's just me. And I WANT to be there, I WANT to be a positive influence, I WANT to provide everything they need and BE THERE to protect them.
As far as OM, I agree that all the signs are there and I would almost feel better if there was, but I really don't think there is. I would have something concrete to pin this all on but I don't think so. It seems its all just how she feels about me which almost makes it worse. She tells me there is not and she has never lied to me that I know of until after the BD she lies like a carpet. Who knows?
Sorry to lean on you on your post again, lean on me anytime.
