PacLove: I recommend family therapy.

I started family counselling and all and all it was a good idea. I took the kids without W at first. I asked her if she wanted to be part of it and she said no. The Dr asked her she said no. She saw some other Dr and they told her it was not a good idea too. Well the kids and I had few sessions without her. When S15 told W that the Dr feels we an only do so much without her - she then came to two sessions.

As the summer started and the kids all went their separate ways - I asked her, in front of the kids and the Dr, if she wanted to come again just the two of us. She said yes.

It's only been two sessions. My expectations are very very low - but as a friend of mine said "She is still in the game".

So I'm really glad the way it turned out. I especially think I showed a good example to my kids and I'm proud of how they responded. I'm even impressed that W is willing. Please check out my thread for the gory details.
