Quote: you now have her kids as allies in the sitch! This is huge, as they were a main reason for the breakup, weren't they - at least in her mind.
It won't hurt, but I suspect it won't be a big help. They fought the separation and D from the beginning. Her son didn't even want to go over to his mom's apartment for the first two weeks. None of that deterred her, but perhaps she felt it would wear off and they would not want to come back. So I guess as we explore this R further, perhaps you are right that at least the issue with her kids won't play such a prominent role.
But Gabe, that's the most confusing aspect; the insistence that it was because of the treatment of her kids that she wanted out. Her actions-leaving them with me, letting them stay the night, go on trips with my kids and me, asking me to watch them-don't really show that she is concerned about her kids being with me. So, I don't know what's up with that. I'll just have to be patient until she resolves that issue herself.
