I appreciate the feedback, I am struggling with the right amount of detachment when we are in same house. She does not work and is gone all day, I am adjusting my days to be gone as well with work and GAL as I move forward. The hard part is dinner time and evenings when she is “around” and I’m with the kids. I respond to her when she talks but keep it simple. Most of the time I don’t speak unless she talks. For example last night I was watching a show with D19 and she is out there talking to us and asking me questions about various things. I could remove myself from the situation, but want to be with D19. She did say that all this would be much easier if we could all act as adults and just get along. This isn’t first time she’s said this, I’ve been silent when she does, but curious as to best answer here. I want to just tell her, look at yourself and what you are doing to this family and tell her to be the [censored] adult, but I know not to do that she claims the S/D will be l better for everyone and allow her to be a better mother. Little things like these comments are were I am struggling for responses and I feel silence looks like weakness.
