Joyful.

My daughter already goes to a better school - her old 1st grade teacher even told me so. My wife moved out of the house on her own, I didn't tell her to move out. Her reasoning for changing her schools is that there would be no one to pick her up when my daughter gets home. I don't get home till 2 hours after school is out, and while this may sound like a good reason to change her schools, its not the best reason. My wife wants more control over my daughter, that's what I see.


But what really ticks me off is that she MADE A DECISION about my daughter's upbringing WITHOUT MY CONSENT or DISCUSSING it with me. This is why I am angry.

I just talked to my wife about this, and even though she sensed I was angry, she didn't comprehend the important little detail about talking with me whenever my daughter's well being is concerned. She told me she was "sorry" for not talking to me about the change in my daughter's school - she said that she thought I already knew!!!!!!!! She's calling the shots without me - it is not right! Or should I just let her make all the parenting decisions on her own?????????

We are sharing JOINT VISITATION rights with our daughter on our own terms. NOTHING is on paper......YET.

We don't have a separation agreement, we are still married, but I am still an equal parent to my daughter, same as my wife is. I don't care if my wife lives apart - she told me she is never coming back to me but she wants to continue in this "civil" married relationship with me without living together. Well, I am moving on with my life, and if I am going to be married to a wife, I think she should be living in the same house as I live in - otherwise, we should be divorced. My wife wants me as a friend only, still wants to be married to keep me around, but said she is never coming back to live with me. I call that a shame marriage - well, it's not even a marriage at all.

I am a bit calmer now. I just wish my estranged wife will let me in on how she plans to raise OUR daughter.
