No, same old same old. She is fine when she stays logical, but highly dysfunctional if she gets too stressed or drunk. From what I can see, her therapy has not helped her improve any of the childhood scars she got, and both of us agree she may never be able to overcome them. She was on meds but didn't like them, so she stopped them. I just hope she doesn't do something stupid that will force my hand before I can get out of there. I have told her that any more violence will result in my going for a TRO, and she knows I am not kidding.

I was hoping for the end of the month, but she is constantly changing the "deal", making it impossible for me to feel safe moving without the deal done. If I had moved in Oct like I was thinking I'd still be stuck in some dingy apartment waiting to get my equity, while she'd be sitting in the big house jerking my chain. This way, if she continues to mess with me, at least I see my kids seven days a week and am able to enjoy the fruits of my house labor for a few months longer. I just have to take her abuse, which I've been taking for almost three years and getting good at it. Somwhow I figure she'll still be messing with me after I move, so at this point, this is tolerable.

Tom, do you have a thread? What's your sitch?
