She mentioned not going on the trip. She stated that she doesn't know if she should go, but it kills her to know she will not be with the kids. I by no means want to hurt her or get a knee jerk reaction. I believe she is really confused, yesterday she was completely done and today she's telling me she loves me and is trying to hold my hand when we were in the car. I guess my thought about her not going on the trip would be that maybe she will see what it's like to not have the kids everyday. But I am no expert. Everything I've done so far has backfired. I have been standing my ground with her today as far as the rules go. Thank you all for the feedback
