[QUOTE="TheWalrus, post: 687956, member: 19905"] In my dynamic, I am the stronger one. My husband is the softy, more easily manipulated, more eager to believe her and give her more and more chances. And he is not her biological father. Yet that is his disposition with everyone - to see the best, to choose to ignore and truly not see the worst. I am more jaded, more guarded, less likely to believe without real proof. I am more likely to go into survival mode and he is more likely to make himself a martyr if he thinks any good may come from it. So our yin and yang struggle is the opposite side of your coin. I think our children make us all feel divided. Divided between what we want to see and what we see. Divided between reality and fantasy. Divided between parental instinct and common sense. Divided between heart and head. That is my biggest division: what my head knows vs. what my heart feels. [/QUOTE]
