Why are you blaming this all on you? Why did both of you see it as your problem to fix? Do you really do everything (small and big) that your W requests of you? Couldn't W have called the school to tell D was sick herself? Couldn't W have figured out a solution (either get someone to watch the kids or take the sick kid to the funeral...I know neither are ideal, but life is not ideal)?

And where are your boundaries?

*She called and texted you disrespectful names.
*She spewed at you in front of the children.
*She tried to hit and kick you.
*She claimed that you were violent against her.

And if these are boundaries, what are the consequences of crossing them? And if they aren't boundaries...can she do anything without consequences? Spend all of the money in your joint account? Spew at and hit the children? F*** the OM in the MBR while you make her coffee?
