JRuss-- great thoughts, as usual.

Yes, I think stonewalling her on the D process takes me to her level of immaturity. It seems the D process is not the core issue, it's a symptom. I don't want her to feel like I'm trying to wage war on technicalities. I don't want her to feel like I'm fighting at all -- I want to drop the rope.

On the other hand, it just doesn't feel right for me to participate in taking practical steps towards seeing less of my kids.

Wrestling with it....
