Should really reiterate the only reason I'm at the house and things are less frosty is because of the kids, She's really let me have it with every negative detail of the relationship and the pain and loneliness.
She's very vocal about how much happier she is with new friends etc who give her what I didn't in terms of feeling attractive and loved.
This is all painful stuff.
But we are able to talk, be in the same room, she really appreciates that I was there for her. ( she did pull out the "you acted like a friend" and the "Hope we can be friends in time" , so I really have to watch out for the friendzone)
Again the most important thing for me is that right now today, there is some trust and she doesn't feel threatened
This may all change once talking to her victim support workers , friends, ic etc
