Rebirth to a New Life II

I will not beat myself up or allow her actions to tear me up inside. I am better than that.

Well said. This is helping me too. H and I argued - he is in a sulk, but you know what? He chose to be there. Yes, I influenced it but I'm not keeping him there. He can come out of it any time he chooses, but in the meantime I'm not going to pander to it.

I love this, Jeff - very strong. Your W has chosen how she wants to feel and refuses to accept any alternatives. You have shown her things can be different but until she bites the bullet, looks deep into herself and asks herself if there could be a better way there is little you can do, except to carry on being a great Dad and treating her as a friend, but not accepting mistreatment.
