hi all. so my wife has gone interstate and is staying with her mother. its only been 4 days, but ive missed her and the kids. its been quite difficult. We've spoken a few times every day. I found out kast night that our littlest one (almost 12 months), took her first steps. it tore me apart knowing that ive missed it. ive been speaking to her brother and a different sister in law, and they are upset with my wife as they know she wont get the support she needs from her mother. they are upset that shes taken the kids away from me (albeit for a couple of months). they are upset cause she has basically made it difficult for our kids to see me (because of the distance). her brother said that i do too much for her and that she taken it for granted. hes suggested i dont contact her for a while so she can appreciate the support i guve her. i believe this is called going dark? or something like that. ill be seeing them all in about 10 days for our littlest ones first birthday. what does everyone recommend?
