So Chris found another woman. This is just what I predicted would happen in time. Of course this isn't that difficult to do. With him wanting to be in Birmingham every day, it was all part of his plan to be apart from his folks here so he could do as he pleased. The way he announced his indiscretion to Nikki was no doubt meant to be hurtful. And now a breaking straw and she says she is done with him. Where does that leave her. In the past year to accommodate his preferred schedule, she has rearranged her life to where she will have to continue working overnight for a long time before things can get better. She must have some time now to get her self organized. She'll have to be everything to those boys. That's where the intervention must be. If we enable, it must be to enable her to build those relationships with her sons, not take over. Create those opportunities.
