Whatever she says about you going out- stay calm neutral kind, soft tone
Think about just being cordial thank her if she does anything right like if she actually starts coming in earlier so you and kids can sleep
If you want to live there together so you can be with your kids and make sure they are safe-you will have to find the best ways to get along not an easy task for the LBS but possible-
practice being positive and upbeat-
figure out how to talk to her and keep the peace in the house- let the kids see peace between you and her
usually I found to ask for nothing, thank him for anything he helped with and validate him seemed to work well here and keep things quiet especially during the separation
