Arrggg... here's the thing now. She has the kids asking me for
money.

I'm almost moved out, just a couple small things to do and I
should be able to go either tonight or tomorrow. Most likely
tomorrow.

Things I've noticed over the last couple of days:

- She has lots of mood swings.
- yelling at the kids
- she keeps going through my stuff including my cellphone
- shes making it difficult for me to move by always taking the van
- she started smoking again!
- she's had migraine headaches last two days
- one minute she ignores me like I'm not even present and the next
she is hostile.
- she has been filling out job applications.
- been telling her for a while now that her van needs breaks,
oil change and an alignment. She just ignores it.
- shes not eating right at all, all total junk, soda all
day long and all empty calorie crap.

She has worked part time, but really she has not had to
work at all in the past. I've taken care of everything. I
think it is really starting to sink in now that she will
have to work a "full time" job now since I won't be here.

I've also learned that she has talked to family members in
the past and said I did not give her money and she was
struggling etc. which is 100% false. In fact, she has had
an account that she manages herself. I have not touched it
for years. There's always between several hundred dollars
to 1k being deposited in it from me for bills, household stuff
etc. Plus, I use other money for groceries, going out and
misc. stuff. There are lots of casino charges on her account
and she constantly has overdraft charges etc.

I said nothing to her about this and have no plans to, it just
hurt hearing that she was saying that to people. I'm only
guessing that she has said it out of guilt to try and cover/justify
her own actions and problem? I'm trying to focus on the
future and just let this past stuff go, but it is difficult.

I'm really wondering if she is having some kind of mid life crisis.
