I guess part of me is still sitting here thinking she's just continuing to convince herself D is the right answer. By her telling me it brings her peace that she's happy with where we are as separated/heading for D. Well, I'm not and I'm far from it. I'm not going to beg/plead, but man is it frustrating.

Part of me wanting to say something too is 180. ...Syndrome has plagued my life and saying something with a firm hand on this might be needed, but I just don't know what that statement is.

We got here the first time around because she was a stay at home mom and did everything for the kids while I just busted my arse off. Balanced that out a bit and then after we got back together my W stopped working. As soon as she went back to work in September, I definitely picked up more load with the kids because I knew I needed to.

I just feel like it's the "well, this should be no problem to co-parent, so let's do this" and that's just all horse sh1t to me.
