[quote=Anonymous]Your wife is controlling and manipulative.

Your wife also doesn't sound like much of a Christian.  I don't recall there being anything in the Bible about abandoning your children, which is exactly what she wants you to do.  I can't imagine she would be ok if you were to tell her she can't see her own kids.

You have an obligation to your kids.  If you want to have a relationship with them, that is your decision to make.  Your wife can either be a part of that, or not, but she doesn't get to dictate that for you.  She knew coming into the marriage that you had kids from a previous marriage.  What you've described doesn't sound all that much out of the ordinary for a parent-teenage child relationship following a contentious divorce and a new blended family.   It sounds like your kids now want to have a relationship you.  If you continue to listen to your wife, you will lose all chance you have of ever being a part of their lives.

If your wife is willing to blow up your marriage over this, then that says a lot about the type of person she is and how she views you and your marriage.  Grow a pair and stand up to your wife.  There shouldn't even be a question as to whether to fight for your kids, even if it means your marriage to this awful woman ends.   [/quote]
