About the anger and meanness you feel from your wife - I understand that is par for the MLC course. I feel the same way -my wifey has gone nuclear and it seems so unnecessary. So I am trying to not take it personally.
I had fun with the kids. Since it is her bday, my daughter picked the restaurant - Ruby's. A burgers and fries joint. We opened presents, we laughed, we giggled. I'm just happy to be with them.
My boys asked me why we haven't gone skiing, why I don't call. I didn't know what to say. I told them their mom asked me not to call them or email. I told them we'd go skiing again soon.
Yesterday I spent a long time responding in writing to a declaration my wife made in the divorce proceedings. She is asking for full custody and for lots more money than I even make. She is living in a dreamland. She is getting some really bad advice, too. Anyway, doing divorce work is always a way to brighten my day. . .
not!
