I am so sorry to hear about this conversation. I am sure you are dissapointed. But it also clarifies where things stand. Now, what actions are YOU going to take? You set a boundary, how will you manage it? In order for W to respect you and your word, you must honor your boundary faithfully. Otherwise nothing you ever say will carry any weight again. I am so sorry that W wasn't as ready as you hoped she would be, to commit to the M. It could be she will need to lose the kids and you, to see that she needs to make some changes. Sometimes the rock bottoms are ugly. So, what's next?
