As far as me going away for the weekend, I told the kids last night at dinner before wife was home. D7 said I don't want to be stuck with mommy for 2 days and s4 started crying.
How heartbreaking!

I am not sure if I should tell her about the children responding this way about her. There have been many other times as well. I don't want to look like I am using guilt in our situation either. Thoughts?
It would be terribly hard for me to keep my mouth shut, however...........stop and consider a couple of things. If she wasn't wayward, it would probably break her heart. Since she is wayward, it could make her turn on you.....and the children. The kids will feel they can't express themselves to you without you telling their mother.
Anger is can be a big issue for some WW's, b/c of the resentment she's stored over the years. You are big enough to handle it, but the kids aren't.
In my opinion, if they are doing it for you, they are going to act similarly for her. Im guessing she will see it, and if she asks you about it, you can say that youve seen similar behaviors and discuss how to handle their questions and reactions going forward.
