Hi EM - As much as I have encouraged you to stand over the past few months, your W's actions and attitudes really has me wondering if that is the best advice. All of our situations are unique even though there are common threads that run through them. And we are all a little different in how we are made up, and with how much we can put up with. You know yourself and your W better than we can ever hope to. I guess my point is that there is no right or wrong decision, just a realization of how much you can put up with while she continues to reside in the ozone layer.
I was really elated when I found out that your W wanted to work things out and get back together again. I knew this would be difficult and take time and lots of patience. But I understand the impact of the roller coaster ride she is still putting you on, and I have got to wonder how sincere she is about restoring the marriage. In short, I don't know what to advise, but I believe that you will soon come to an understanding of what you need to do for your own happiness and well-being. If you can gather more patience, great! If you are unable to put up with any more guff, leaving her to her own devices is also a reasonable and acceptable move. There are no wrong answers here. You will come to know what is best for you and the daughter. God bless you and help you as you ponder what to do. My best to you as always.
