Tied to the Whipping Post

My attorney called today about our court dates. Our settlement conf is at the end of Feb, and the "trial" date is in April.

So we're still on track for the D.

At least 3 more months in the same house together.

I'm very glad that I didn't move out. I wish I hadn't moved out of our bedroom back then, but changing that back would be a lot of pressure on her.


It gave me some butterflies, I kind of expected that. Thankfully, I'm not a wreck like I have been every other time something like this has come up.

Some journaling,

She's been cycling between cordial and nasty again for the about the past week. There is a difference, the cycles are more like hour to hour whereas before they were more like day to day. I did like it when we were interacting better, that was a nice interlude.

She was alternating about every hour or so between not speaking to me, being upset, and being friendly last night, and this morning as well. She definately has some anger there.

This morning, the kids were messing around on the way out the door, and she snapped, and started screaming at them. I used to ask her to take it easy on them if I thought she was going overboard, but I left off doing that b/c she would say that I was accusing her of being a bad parent.

I think that if she does that again, I will say something to her about it. Fine if she wants to scream at me. I can listen or walk away, they can't.
