I know I have a lot to work on. While I am not malicious or purposely manipulative, I think sometimes what I say or do comes across that way. I never mean for it to - just seems like that is the way she has always taken it (probably due to being with so many people like that in the past, as well as her mother).
I can only hope that she does her inner soul searching during this time and at least realizes the importance of her children. This really is what her father would do...I don't think he liked being tied down for very long so he would figure out a reason to bail.... he married 7 times.
I shouldn't be analyzing any of this except for my own personal reflecting, but it is really difficult. I look back at how much of a stable and safe life I gave her and I can't see why anyone who was in their right mind would want to leave just because they didn't feel "listened to".
Again, I am barking up the wrong tree here. Just venting.
