I'm so grateful to everyone who's commented on my threads over the past few weeks.
I feel like that pedestal my W was on has come down a bit more and I feel ready to challenge her on things that I just don't agree with.
I've had a great day today with my D5 today, there was a couple of occasions where she innocently asked me when I was coming home etc which would normally rip me apart but I just skimmed past them.
In more good news I finally managed to secure a driving instructor starting 2nd July so will have that to focus my energy in to.
