My fear that my x would decide she wants to be super mom not that om/h is out of picture has not appeared.<p>With the exception of a 3 day business trip I have to take when she will have the kids, she seems to be seeing the kids less.<p>She is not taking them one weekend in June because she wants to go home and see her parents. She said she didn't do anything for Mother's Day or father's birthday plus they have an aniversary coming up so she wanst to see them. I guess its up to me to get the kids to see their grandparents (her parents) too.<p>Only thing I did notice is x is friendly towards me now. She did ask to talk to me last night about not taking the kids the one weekend and got all chatty. <p>She did offer to pay some of d's car insurance. D won't be driving till end of year, so I said we would see when time comes.

People who do not know how to properly love themselves do not know how to love others. <p>IMHO, WS are insecure so they seek out their security in OP. She is out looking to fill that God shaped hole in her. She needs the Lord. But she is going to keep trying to put other things in that spot. It is like trying to put a circle in a square hole. <p>I'm sorry. I guess knowing this does not stop your pain and grief. Nor does it help your children with an absent mom. Its just a sanity check that there is a method to the madness.

I agree with that completely, the way I look at it, is that it's all about choice, none of us are robots, we all have the freedom to make the right choice, or the wrong choice.
