Yes. And what I've learned is that W is expert at deflecting, blaming, and doing what she can to avoid reality during those talks. I used to try to game plan every anticipated response of mine but I've realized that's pointless. Now I focus on what I want for myself and my kids, and the responses flow naturally from those desired outcomes.

I have real concern over the branch swing whenever it comes, not for me but for my kids. W is in an unhealthy place right now and any guy that signs up for that is going to be in bad shape. I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.
