"Loneliness expresses the pain of being alone and solitude expresses the glory of being alone." - Paul Tillich
The aloneness is the same whether we're suffering loneliness or enjoying solitude. The magical difference is in our attitude toward ourselves.

Text today: Me: I am available to take the kids to 'nephew's' birthday party.
W: I'm sure you are (implying I have no work).

If it is journaling only, does that mean I shouldnt reply?
Oh well, I am anyway, if thats ok. Let me ask you something. Why did you even text her? If the kids need someone to take them, who would be responsible for setting that up? Just curious.
If it's her for this particular thing, why not just let her text you? And do you know for sure that was her implication? I hope you didnt respond. You said you were available, now she knows it, so I say, let it drop, ya know? Dont feed into her and her stupid games. She knows just how to get to you, I think. Dont let her, my friend.
You can reply. I needed to let her know that I was able to take the kids to my nephews party. She hates my sister.
S'OK BM. I was verbally attacked tonite because I brought my son's friend home from the movie for a playdate. My son only had reading tonite. The boy's father was in agreement and they both wanted a playdate. My W attacked this, again, in full ear shot of the kids.
This time I taped part of her outburst.
I'm beginning to dislike my W. I'm sorry.

Hey ford, I'm originally from Brooklyn, so I can curse with the best of them if I want to. And FIB's wife may be all those things, but as a woman, the c word is just really and truly degrading to hear.
FIB, you need to get the heck out of that house. In the meantime, it is not ok for her to verbally attack you, particularly in front of the kids. It is good that you taped it.
Let me ask you this, if I may. What are the parameters that you two have regarding the kids right now. Are there any? Like - do you have your days and she hers? You need to discuss this and figure it out while you are still in the house. Remember it is about the kids. Does she want you to run it by her before you schedule playdates on school nights. Do you?
It is not unreasonable to me if either of you do that. As a mother, I would want to know if my child was having a playdate. I would think you would also.
You need to tell her that you and she have to sit down and discuss this for the sake of the children so that there are not any more outbursts while you are living together. It is not ok for the kids to have to live with that.
And for the record, I dont like your wife either. I have sucked it up and bitten my tongue and lived with a man for 19 motnhs without a bad word out of my mouth for the sake of my son and he is 18. She needs to get herself under control and start acting like a mother.
If Virginia perhaps would have took the time to know FORD, she would know he is one of the most kindest, speak from the heart (bull in a china shop) man there is.
Maybe thier censor button needs to be checked?

FIB, I hear ya...
