Glad to hear the last two months have been productive for you. Well done!

W will see things through her own lens. And yes, most times she will tint everything with a negative hue. Remember, she is feeding her narrative, her vision and reasons. Let it be, and don’t take the bait.
You see the conflict within her. Let her feel it. Do not assuage it for her. Also do not amplify it on her. Validate when/if she shares or brings something up, otherwise let her walk her path and work her way through her maze of feelings.
You, continue to focus on you and the kids. Being the best you and Dad, you can be. Being a lighthouse. Maybe, hopefully, W steers away from the rocks.
Hope your week is going well.

Feelings are fleeting. Be better, not bitter. Love the person, forgive the sin.
