Hi scoobs, I have been reading your thread and I am sorry you are going through this but it will get better. I had a live in mlc w for quite awhile and it's rough, hang in there and focus on yourself and kids.
I noticed in one of your posts you mentioned w not making kids lunches and being frustrated. Things like this will have to be part of having no expectations. The mlc spouse really does check out. When she was in the house I was doing nearly everything. I did quit doing her laundry and set it aside.
In regard to your last paragraph above, what if you weren’t there for her to say bye to? If you know she's leaving take the kids before and go do something.
