It is amazing the insight that you have in this situation. I guess it is the same plays, just different players when it comes to these situations. She doesn't currently work and comes to the our home during the day to stay with the kids. she is currently staying with family. i have considered shutting off the internet here as she plays all day, but wasn't sure if that would just cause her to no longer come and watch the kids and just push her further away. Also, she would just end up communicating with these people on her cell phone (which I also pay) I pay everything, but she really only buys stuff for the kids @ this point. I have my suspensions that she withdrawals cash thought when she does make purchases. She feels that I am controlling so I am just trying to not make $ an issue, I have never put her on a budget and I guess you could say she was spoiled. I have always been a hard core pursuer when we had arguments in the past, and have made a 180 since she left. I think her family is starting to see what an addiction she has to the game, but they don't know all the details. Do you think it would be a good way for me to enforce boundaries to shut off internet or just more drama at this point?
