Continue my ups and downs with W. I grow weary of the tests and her attacks only to be followed by good exchanges.
I have been gone all week on travel. I was ill last weekend but I got well enough to leave Monday. She sends me an email Sunday and asks how I was feeling. Pleasant exchange.
Monday she sends an email titled "grand finale" and she proceeds to gloat about buying a house and "moving on". Then rips into me about some legal stuff. Her lawyer says we should do YYY instead of XXX. She says: "forgive me if I seem to be pushing..."
I write back "Once again your lawyer is giving you bad advice ..." and I call her on it; YYY was not correct. I told her "I grow tired of looking like I am causing the problems when it is your lawyer who is making the mistakes"
She backs down - "Okay XXX it is. I didn't mean to upset you. I think well of you". And she goes on to say "I think we've done good for the kids and each other in terms of respect and good will"
PLEASE!!!!!!!!!
Another email follows: she asked for my mom's address - wants to send a Christmas card.
I so not want to deal with her any longer.
Behind in my Christmas prep. I don't get the kids until Christmas Day in the evening; I may ask W to see them next week (I missed my time with them b/c of travel and the "rules" don't allow make-up time).
Got to buy presents next week.
My brother and family is coming in to see my mom at Christmas but I am dreading that. I don't like my brother and Christmas is a stressful enough time without their visit.
If I sound depressed and a bit angry it is b/c I am.
