Ok, thanks guys, Objectivity is not my strong point at the moment, responsive emotions to every miniscule interaction or thought that pops into my head seem to be controlling my mind right now. Impatient for a glimmer that we could ever reconcile, so yes still fully attached like a puppet on a string.
I did check and under uk law anyone with parental responsibility has to give written permission for their child to leave the country. I don't have any valid concerns that she wouldn't return,
Honestly I'm flailing looking for ways to be assertive, hoping to regain some respect ( was never assertive with her and often passive aggressive avoiding conflict)
Learning to be more confident and assertive is one of my goals,
Again I don't think I truly appreciate how long things may take, if ever.
Realise im not really accepting that I can't turn this around and fix it quick.
Going to try and find some focus on some 180s, demonstrating I can be trusted and respected through the shared business and take it baby steps from there.
