Thank you CW, I am protecting myself and my own time.
This whole thing is complex as I want to protect our dialogue around the kids.
This was my first real step since physical separation to also protect myself.

Not to nick pick but I would have used "doesn't work for me"

In my language this is actually closer to what I said.

Why do you care if she sticks to it?

This is a very good question LH! Thank you! Sure made me reflect and you are so right!
I dont care, its my boundary, I will protect it and what she does really shouldn't bother me.

You got to get stronger M

Please elaborate more specifically if you have time. Do you mean the part where I need to tell my boundary before protecting it?
