Blindsided and Lost

[1313]

Nate, sorry for what you're going through. Is there any way you can separate in the house? That would be hugely advisable. To DR, you're going to need to follow Sandi's rules, which you've already been told.

Is this guy married? I always get concerned when people like this are always around kids as that tells me their moral fiber is already on the low side.

As Mowgli says - act "as if". She's basically a roommate who just moved in - you don't know her. And you don't. She is going to play you when she can. Business relationship is right. At the most, validate her feelings. Other than that, keep it brief. Pretend every word, every letter, every character cost $50. Emoji's are a $300 fine.

It's going to get worse before it can possibly get better. Keep posting, even if it's just rambling journaling. We're pulling for you.
