As always, angry angels on my shoulders! Thanks for all the above - read in detail.
I'm at work at the minute, so I'll be quick for now.
I walked out of a conversation with her mid sentence yesterday. I'd just returned with my D from her judo club and W started to lay in to me about something and nothing. I simply scooped up the kids and left. I got the kids to say goodbye to her, but I didn't say a thing. I was fuming with her attitude.
So, what to do about the dynamic. Well, her credit points are all done. To a normal person, if somebody had cared for you and looked after you, you would want them to be by your side. For now, she's proved that isn't for her, so, I'm not for helping right now. I was half thinking about her appointment on MOnday, but I realise that it is just pure manipulation, so, I'll be off to the gym at that time. The only respect she has shown me is when she had her original follow up appointment on Tuesday, and was telling me how and when I could take the kids to school and how I could do thia and that for her, that I told her it wasn't going to happen like that and that she would have to change the appointment time. Of course, she had a hissy fit, but she did change the time.
Maybe I'm just not feeling that strong right now. It'll be two years in a months time and I'm a little down right now. Having the kids 24/7 has been great and I realise how much I miss them when they aren't here. I just want a nice family home again, but I do deserve to be treated a whole lot better.
