I've had the kids this weekend. As Job suggested, I sent her a picture of the kids on our day out yesterday. I know she's seen it on 'whats app', but she didn't respond. It was a great picture of my S & D hugging.

Me and the kids have had a great weekend, and W made contact about 1625, saying she was on her way, via the shops.

When she arrived, I told her that I was having the first week of the upcoming school holidays off. I've already booked it, and I have a meeting that I need to attend in the second week. W went off alarming saying I should have consulted her (I replied that I didn't have to), that I should compromise (like she did when she abandoned the kids when she went for her tummy tuck operation) as she was planning to go and see her parents and that she would have to re-arrange all her hair dressing appointments. After I kissed the kids, she left in a flouncing mood.

It's all becoming a bit of a 'argh' as I don't see any change in her at. No warmth, no visible unhappiness, no reaching out, nothing. It's the usual MLC diet of 'me, me, me' and trying to control my movements etc. I also got the threat of if I didn't change my holiday week 'you won't se the kids'. I'm just losing any hope here and begin thinking that I should just call quits. Patience is a virtue, but after so long, you do wonder when.

Anyway, off for a bath - a good soak always restores my frayed nerves!
