Thanks Stevie. Reading that stuff gets me emotional, and I'm really ambivalent about what I'm reading. My W can't really act without my consent, so in a sense I'm somewhat safe here, but at the same time I have the issue of her not feeling free. Also, reading about how parental hostility isn't good for the kids worries me. I'm not hostile to her, but she is VERY hostile to me, and she acts on all of her emotions, including in front of our son. I know it is her choice not to control herself, and she's not being responsible, but because I am involved in the situation, am I somehow putting my son in a harmful environment by not going with what W wants here? I want to do what's right, and what's right in the abstract is giving my S the best shot at having his parents in a loving, happy relationship. I don't know how best to approach this now, and I'm really feeling the need to act. I'm just frozen. She's angry at me, and is going to do whatever it takes to maintain this anger (I don't know this for a fact, it might turn out to be a great weekend after we get some more stuff out in the open). I guess I'm preparing for the worst, and it's bothering me because at the moment I don't feel like there's anything I can constructively focus on to move me toward my goal.
