Quote: It just leaves me with a sinking feeling in my stomach, almost despair
Enjoy the weekend with S6. Despair and that sinking feeling come from projecting too much into the future. You're doing what's best for you and S6, even for XW in as much as her life is your business these days. By that I mean that you are fair and continue to show her respect and compassion, despite her flare-ups of blaming, etc. She'll do her exploring and take as long as she takes, ending up where she ends up. Keep your focus on your destination.
Enjoy your time with S6. Our kids are too important to let those sinking feelings interfere with how we support the true innocents in our sitches.
Thanks,
