Newbie....Wife has left , Need Help

[Bdog37]

She thinks everything I do has a manipulative motive, anyone dealt with this before?

Yup. The moment I told my W that the arrangement with the kids is unfair she exploding saying so many things that were just untrue. However, I stood my ground and didn't care what she had to say. At the time of all this I still wanted her back, but needed to be firm in looking out for my rights. She told me that I was just being selfish and not thinking about the children.

They will turn on you and even though you do not want this you still need to look out for your best interests.
