I thank you for driving me towards making their R more difficult and agree I am making her life that much more easier BUT I have in the back of my mind my two sons faces and what they looked like when these conversations about the marital home/bed came about. I won’t put them through that again.
Trust me there is nothing more I would like than to restrict the exposure of the AP/LO and my kids but again my WW wants the exact opposite and without me restricting the exposure to her then I can’t stop the exposure to him, does that make sense?
I’m sure all would agree the children should be protected first and foremost.
As time goes by I am getting more and more hardened towards her which is helping me DTR and focus more on my future and that of the boys, any conversations are cordial and brief but (and this is where I feel I’m being mistaken) I will continue to show her the best me whilst being civil (won’t say friendly any more) and show a place where she knows she won’t be berated as long as she respects my boundaries.
I can’t control any of this rollercoaster she’s on and I’m not buying a ticket as out there are better "rides" to experience, ones that are more worthy of me.
25yearsmlc – thanks for keeping an eye on me I do try and take on board what the “vets” suggest.
Appreciate it.
Mark.
