Thw situation now is that her Sister has left her husband after he was found to be womanising, gambling and taking drugs. So now my stbx, sister and mom, who is also single and bitter after her husband left her for another woman, have become a tight unit where men are seen as a problem. They all stick together now and are away for a week on holiday with all the kids. I feel like I am now an outsider even though I was only ever kind and helpful to all of them. It would be difficult to break through the mistrust and apathy towards me especially with rhetoric from her family who I fear are telling my stbx to stay away from me. I am keeping communications to a minimum now as it wouldn't be welcome. I also feel like being friendly has so far achieved nothing more than partly civil conversation when I collect the kids. Should I just keep my distance from her? She doesn't suspect I have much of a life outside work but feel that she should have cause for concern that I may walk away...just wanted your thoughts on what I can do to help my cause if at all.


I gotta keep breathing. Because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?
