We left off with the STBX trying a half hearted abduction of my kids and some really crazy spewing, that has since changed in a big way.
STBX has been a very different person these last few weeks, if I had to guess I would say she is poking her head waaaaay out of the tunnel making some significant changes in her behavior towards myself and the kids. She has been spending ALOT more time with the kids and bending for my schedule. I wanted to attend an auction a couple of weeks ago and offered to let her have time with the kids instead of getting a sitter, her old self would have given me a big FU for even asking but this time she agreed and was happy to help out. She is much more talkative and pleasant in her interactions with me and has directed her venom and spew at her mother for the most part.
She has done some very bizarre things in the last few weeks as well, she called a friend in front of me and suggested her friend take OM out drinking for the night, she's been snooping around my house and checking my phone, it's funny but it looks like she is acting a little like a LBS at times. She calls and works very hard to keep me on the phone and this weekend when she was calling from OM hometown (she ran out of town because of our 19th anniversary yesterday), she was sneaking outside to call sounding on the verge of tears at times. I actually thought I was gonna get a "come home" request yesterday by the way the call was going. She is showing her pregnancy now and claims to be 5 months into it but it looks farther along to me.
I've been pretty cold to her the last couple of months, very short in my words and absent from her visits with the kids, sharing nothing about myself or my life. This seems to have had an effect although my goals have changed from wanting her to return to simply wanting her to step up to the plate in regards to the kids.
I figure she's about half baked at this point and just hope things continue to be fairly good with the kids. She still has a long way to go and all the time in the world to get there.
