She Wants Me to Leave 3rd Time .....EA or not EA?

[isittoolate]

I'm away on business overnight so I called home to say goodnight to the kids - my 180 in action.

W took the call and I asked her why she seemed to blank me at the school gates this morning. She defended herself said she was talking to another mum (she was). I said if I was any one of her friends she would have greeted me properly. She said sorry if I felt that way. Then I moved the convo on.
I made my point, expressed my feelings and moved on.

This is a 180 for me. I will not let her disrespect me whether she means to or not. I have called her on a few things she has said in the last few days - very minor stuff but ive made my point - I will not be trodden on.

She is very vulnerable - again she was crying on the phone, 3rd time in a week. Her Father is still in hospital, and lung cancer is suspected. Its 2.5 weeks now and he might not get out for Xmas. she is tired, down, depressed and anxious

W is very anxious and worried for him and feels helpless to help him 9we are both medical professionals) plus our sitch and Xmas stress and she is starting her period - she is one very stressed WAW.

I validated and tried to reassure her etc then spoke to kids and finished the convo.
Onwards towards tomorrow. DBing for life!
