I'm really trying to listen more and talk less, especially when it comes to B's situation with his wife. Sometimes I fail miserably, though. I get "riled up" about it because I feel like he's being taken advantage of.
I get that he has to bide his time. She's kinda lost her mind and he's afraid she'll take some of the kids and he certainly doesn't want the courts to decide when they can see either of them. I don't want that for them, either. Packing up kids for the weekend, all the back and forth - just not a good scene.
Things are slow moving. He says he just wants to stop living lies and move on. I feel like in order to effectuate change he's going to have to *do* something because obviously she's convinced herself that it's ok as it is.
It's just a horrible mess and last night I think I crossed a line because I was bluntly honest. I feel horrible about it. I immediately apologized; however, once we say something it's not ours anymore. I can't take it back.
Listen more. Talk less.
