That's a good way to look at it. As a matter of fact that's a GREAT way to look at it, but doesn't it seem like I'm using the kids as sort of a hostage? I think that, but immediately flip the switch to say" THIS IS WHAT YOU WANTED!!. WHAT DID YOU THINK DIVORCE WOULD BE?"
$$$$...No, unfortunately, I have not. D16's education cost over 100K. Now she's applying to college at 40K a year! There's no way!!! And if we get divorced???? Shel'll have to live at home and go to community college, and may be better off doing that to start anyway.
She and her mother were at each other's throat, as you may recall. D. was out of control, and needed to be reomved from the home. Well, here it is a year later, and D16 says that when she graduates in 3 weeks, she and ehr counselor at school believe that it will be better if D16 doesn't live with W. Remember, W. balmed all of the poor interactions betwen D16 and her on W.s' unhappiness from the "M". Now what?
