FastCars, it sounds like you're doing well. It's nice that your family can do those activities together on Christmas weekend even though there's still the tension with your wife. Did you talk to her yet? Did you say what you planned to say above? I can see the reasons why she's been staying but that's so unfair to you to be strung along. I hope you'll find a way to either accept things as they are or end it if your wife can't put in equal effort. For your daughter's sake it'd be wonderful if you and your wife can find a way to make it work. I really hope the holiday week softens everyone's hearts.
