Well, I wonder if STBXW could in some way use this against me, to claim alienation. I suspect she has BPD, and so I'm anticipating a rough D.

I've been careful to not make disparaging remarks about her and just address my side of things.

I also do wonder if it was good for the kids' R with their mother. But maybe this is the NG in me worrying about her R with them. It's not my job to get them to be happy with this, when she is ultimately the one who walked away from this M.

I just wanted my boys to know that this does not represent my values as a person. I believe in M vows and take them seriously. I want to pass that on to my sons. Pretending to be okay with it allows my STBXW to steal this teaching moment from me.
