Or let her not come to you and drop those expectations
I am working on this. Part of me still has hope she is going to stop this. It comes and goes. I am finding it's worse when I have the kids. I'm reminded of family, of happier times. I'm going to keep working on this.

Really I think you would've been better not turning back when she started crying. Let it sink in. Instead you force her to prove to you that she is still set on this path so she doesn't give you false hope.
I am still effected by her showing sadness or guilt and crying because of it. I am able to look past anger. I guess her tears made me think I could make things better somehow. And that is another part you mentioned Zeus. Making it better isn't one of my 2 options.
The person that you will spend the most time with in your life is yourself, so make yourself as interesting as possible.
