I think I'm getting the LRT confused with the rules.
So now I'm TRYING to do my thing and let her do hers but our family dynamic is hard to deal with. Example:
We usually split the kids up on weekend to run errands etc. so looking back, SHE has been GAL before me and doing what she can on weekends to avoid me and my son. Therefore, I feel like unless I confront her about taking the two kids while I "do what I want" it's biz as usual. Obviously I'm going to start filling my days with things I want to do and keep me busy vs running her errands but she is inflicting her Will on me through the kids. My son is hard to take out and do things with because he has special needs. It's a lot of work! And she has pawned that responsibility on me. Making her life easier on the weekends by doing what she wants with our daughter.
I feel like I'm making progress here but am struggling with these key household dynamics and how to break out of them or make them work better for me.
