Thanks for dropping by. You are right that no matter how bad this gets it will get better. It is tempting to want to help my W through all of this, but she has made it clear that she does not want any help from me. Also the fact that when she does get to the point where I want to put my arm around her and comfort her she typically throws something about the divorce at me which makes it a lot easier to not want to help her. This is the bed that she has laid and she will have to lie in it. I just hope that my girls don't get dragged down into the mess that she has created.
Journaling:
I had a great weekend with my girls. Friday night, we hung out with some friends and then watched a movie on the family room floor. Both girls fell asleep before the movie ended, so I had the privilege of caring both girls up stairs into bed. Saturday, we went to the driving range and then to the fun center to play some games. Then Sunday we got up, went to church, and then headed up to Milwaukee for the night. We swam in the hotel pool and rough housed in our room. I had D2 to wound up Sunday night, so she was a handful to try to get to sleep. Yesterday, we went to the Brewers game with some of my friends. D5 loves watching baseball and D2 loves anything that D5 loves, so it was fun.
Today, some more of the same. My W called earlier and I could tell that she was in a bad mood. Our conversation was short, but then she starts chatting(IM) me about the divorce and telling me the longer this takes the more money she is going to want. I just chatted her back saying "Nice..... I will talk to my L and will let you know what she says after I talk with her about my concerns. Again I ask that you respect the fact that I am at work and not bring the divorce into my workplace". She then changed the subject to my birthday and our girls. Hopefully when I get home from work tonight she will be pleasant, but, her track record tells me otherwise.
