Things went downhill last night. The kids went in the house with my parents... I took a little time to "decompress" I guess you could call it. I called my brother, he was short with me and wanted to get off the phone because his D23? was there.

I went to the camper, my parents and my kids were in there... Parents were taking over the place. The kids had brought out a bunch of stuff, including a pile of cushions from my parents's couches, my parents said nothing. The kids started organizing things in the camper, my parents said nothing. They always just let the kids do whatever they want. My parents say that they think that the kids know what they can and cannot do. The kids think my parents will tell them right from wrong. This has always been the case, I came home last summer to the kids having destroyed things I wanted to keep, my parents said nothing.

I told the kids we needed to get ready for bed, my parents just sat there. So the kids didn't move either. Can't blame the kids.

This morning was better, feeling good about myself, but it has gone downhill all day. xW will be picking up the kids tonight from a place I will be. Even though the transfer of the kids will be through my parents, and likely outside, I'm not looking forward to seeing her. This place will be packed with my relatives so that should force her to not make a fool of herself anyway.

Wow do I wish this "game" was over. In one hand I don't even care if I win or lose anymore, I just don't want to deal with her any longer. Too bad that's not an option. On the other hand I want to show her I am happy, strong, confident, someone only a fool would leave.
