To me, she contines with her entitlement attitude. You see how quickly she made it all about her? When she can't control you, then she finds a way to punish you. She withholds information on your son because you don't ask about her day.

I have known a few women who never let go of their princess entitlement. They had it before, during, and after marriage.

I really hate that you are still having to endure her wrath. I think she knows she hold the reigns because of the kids. So, that's what she will use to hurt you.

It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
