This started when she texted me to have a good day and I said you too.
Me :I have felt like you are upset and frustrated the last few days. Are things alright with you?
W: Yah im fine. It just feels like u dont want me around so im trying to stay out of the way
M: I understand why you feel that way. And it's not the case. I am stressed about school this year and it's taking a lot of my energy to try and stay focused on it.
W: Well it has been like this since long before school
Me: Not wanting you around isn't the case. I feel like you don't want to be around and it's not that I am staying out of your way, it's that I need to be happy for me and the kids, so I do stuff that I enjoy doing. Like playing with the boys. Making supper. Walking Molly. If you want to be part of what I am doing great. If not I am not going to enjoy it anymore or less. I still think about you and care about you, at the same time I am thinking and caring for myself
W: It just feels like im stepping on toes being at the house, and it feels weird if i try to do anything with the boys.


So this is where it's left off. I don't know if I am talking too much or if the communication is good. It feels good to me. But what she last sent I am not sure how to approach that. I feel like I should say well you decided this is best for you and you have chosen to distance yourself from the children and myself. You made your bed now you don't want to sleep in it? I am not sure how to proceed


The person that you will spend the most time with in your life is yourself, so make yourself as interesting as possible.
