This is fantastic advice and reading, Job. You nailed her to a T. She started a part time job and her parents live in the house which has been fantastic for daycare but probably contributed to her thinking I do not need to be around anymore when she has support. Do you have any advice on my kids? My eldest are in love with her and their siblings and I do not want them exposed to this until it is absolutely necessary. For now, I have been lying and saying them and I spend weekends with their half siblings because we are trying to get the youngest to not be so attached to her. That lie only goes so long. What makes it also difficult is I live in two different states, kids in each, so coordination is hard. This is what makes her behavior so frustrating. We started a blended family and built a schedule that we thought would work but now that is all thrown out. I've tried to work with my ex on a new schedule to get more time in the state where WAW and my youngest are, but ex won't budge and forces me to reduce significant time with my eldest to agree, which I cannot do in my heart. The links you sent tell things so well; the path of destruction she is making in the lives of so many for herself, is endless.
