[MENTION=24493]outofchances[/MENTION]............I hope you get to nread this before you go to work.
Now listen, I don't get angry often but this treatment of you has angered me in a way I've not felt for a long time.
YES!!!! get in touch with your old counsellor.
Then..........do not answer her calls. YES we did wrong but each and every single day we're sober we are making amends whether you follow the 12 steps are not.
Do not answer her when she calls..............in fact can you block her? Of course, she pissed off but this kind of treatment is unfair and downright bullying and your kids are feeding on that anger. Get a new phone and switch the bloody thing off when you need sleep.
Time, it takes time.............you or I cannot say when it will happen. You'll probably never have a great relationship with your ex but the kids as they grow will get fed up of seeing you as the whipping boy. The more sober and sane you get............they will understand.
I used to volunteer in a D&A service and have seen families especially the offspring of relationships become a support to the parent in trouble after years of calling them worse than crap. I'm rather fond of one woman who's own mother alienated against her own two girls.............she now sees them when she pleases and is babysits her granchild. And sober nearly three years.
