Shame and devastation

[Jdevast]

Yeah I've realised I need to detach somehow.had to go watch the kids last minute tonight as she had forgotten about a parents meeting at the school.

It's a design business and one work at home and one at studio.She started the ltd company but in a totally different field.when we last seperated she pushed for me to leave my career and join her as co director to spend more time together and be around kids more as I was pushing long hours and drinking.jumped at the chance because I had rose tinted reconciliation glasses on.

We started a new business direction and built it together 50/50.at times she was frustrated at need for me to be more active in the business (finding my feet after 20 years in a different field) and as it grew and I took a more active role she is now complaining that I've tried to take control of her business.

We both have different strengths and I never saw it as anything other than a partnership.

Now this evening I've received 6 messages in a row from her trying to arrange how I will help out with the kids over the weekend.

Detaching and going dark is going to be real tricky.
