Last week we got into an argument in which I unloaded on her about our final days as a family in one house. I pointed out how the kids were not eased into the new living/family arrangements, how I could of been shot when the police responded to what they were told was a hostage sitch w/guns. I told her I will no longer cover for her when the kids ask when and if mom will be coming home, rather my response will be "I don't know, you will have to ask her - mom decided to leave and knows she is welcome back." Surprisingly for the first time the W did not shut the convo down, she listened to all I had to say, tried to give an excuse here and there but they were all ones I had heard and were able to debunk (these wee not feelings she had that needed to be validated - rather complete fabrications). In the end I could tell she was feeling what I had to say.

I know this interaction would be considered pursing/pressure, but I will say it felt good to get off my chest.

After that, none of it was bought up again, interactions were as normal as they have been with the exception of a "goodnight" text she sent the next night, which was out of the norm.

I need to go do the school run now but I will post more later today as we had an even bigger blow up which led to me alerting the "pseudo BIL" that there are some truths he should know about...

I know I have some 2x4's coming my way!!!


The sun still rises, even though the pain.
