Oh yeah. I am sure any rational person would knowingly try to 'play a joke' on a widower. That is pathetic that they can't acknowledge your nice gesture, instead they twist it. I say 'they' because your W apparently agrees with MIL's crazy rants.

This is all you can do. Well, no. You could give up and walk around depressed and angry and heartless. But no, you are being a positive role model, letting things go, and praying for the very people hurting you the most. Your sons are so lucky to have you. Your W is a fool to let you go.

NoCode, I just don't know what to think. Have you or your atty drawn up any sort of SA that you would be agreeable with? Are you holding off for any reason? Oh and she can't force you to agree/sign anything, can she? What's with the threats? Have you given any thought to just letting her completely go? Coming up with an agreement, signing it and letting her go......

I say this, and I can't do it myself, of course...

Thanks for the D6 hugs by the way. I will pass them on to her when I get home.... \:\)
