New lows hit this evening in the relationship with the kids...
They're caught in a trap with the narcissist/ex/crazy person, too. They're feeling conflict, and trying to find their way.
It might feel like they're siding with one party, or the other, and it might feel like they don't care about you, and perhaps, even, words have been said.
But, I am here to tell you, 13 years after I was in your situation, that my kids eventually found a balance between the all the stress they felt, realized the situation in which they were trapped, come to terms with the personalities involved, and have a very close relationship with their dad.
I know that sounds like an impossible timeline - but you're not going to have to wait that long for them to find their way. It's just that I'm 13 years beyond where you are now and life is good, my relationship with them is good.
Hang in there.
