Hmmm....small, small cracks are appearing. I think your wife was a bit shocked (no, she wouldn't say that) with the whole financial backbone thing. Don't discount her attempts at civil communication so readily.
You're still carrying a lot of anger, justly in my opinion, but you have to find a way past that to civility. Sounds like you're doing a good balancing act with your communication.
Just remember, no relationship discussions (if she makes an effort to communicate more), don't jump on the chance if presented. Keep responding when she writes, but remember the 180 principle (read up on it if you have a chance) and keep doing what works.
Yes, there is real evil in this world, FLTC and you get the graphically open variation. There's a lot of hidden real evil as well so keep your eyes open.
