My advice is to reflect back on your actions and determine how to take the lessons learned and apply them going forward.

What was your goal in sending this text? And do you think sending it brought you closer or farther from your overall goals?

What happened prior to her text telling you to leave her alone?


Well, she wanted to exchange the kids in a parking lot, which I was not ok with. We agreed to meet at an ice cream shop, get the kids ice cream together, and then she could take them. However, when we got there she said she had changed her mind and was just going to take the kids. That basically set everything off.

Farther, I sent it in anger and frustration. I'm mad at myself for that one.

Another text from her:

'I wish you would understand that the sooner we are divorced, the sooner we can develop a relationship co-parenting. We can't do that until then and it makes things very, very tough. '

CRW,
I think at this point I would agree with the others. Let her be, HARD HARD HARD to do, but i think that would be best for your well being as well.

ok that you were upset about not having ice cream together, but stop and breathe, think before we react. I know its hard to do in the "heat of the moment" but we cause ourselves so much turmoil over things that could have gone so much better if we would have stopped and took a DEEP breathe 1st.

you can do this, remember you have the support here.

thanks guys.

this would be much easier without the kids. for example, S1.5 had tubes put in his ears today. Hard not to communicate with her about that.

Hey you should call W and ask about how getting tubes in S ears went.

Keep it about your kids and it should be fine.

Yes, you have to communicate about that. I personally would have been present even though it is not a major surgery, they still put them out for that.
