W just called, she's coming over to visit D13, D17 is not home.
W is angry - she says she "has nothing", wants to force us to sell the house so she can afford a place to live.
I told her that selling the house is a disruption I can't take time for, that I have business lined up that I must not be disrupted in. I said give it 2 months and I'll have turned it around.
She says I'm delusional, I'm a mess, that's why I was drinking. That she shouldn't be leaving me in the house with the girls. That it's not right that she can't come over and tuck them in at night. She's scared I'm going to be unable to care for them. She's the one who's taken care of them all this time, she should be with them.
I told her I never said she couldn't come over, I said I didn't want to see her so I wanted to know when she was coming over in advance.
I also said that she can call me on my cell any time, 2 in the morning, whatever, to verify that I'm keeping my word. She said "I don't want to have to go to a judge and make the kids testify that you're a drunk". Lovely.
I told her to give it 2 months, don't interfere with my life. I reminded her that the reason she is 'out' is because I told her I wouldn't co-habitate when she starts seeing other men. I said "You made your choice".
I told her I've had enough. This is the turning point. I'm pissed and I'm done with the hurt she's been putting me through.
She said "Yeah, I know I'm a bad wife! (I never said that) That's why I can't be married to you!".
Again, I said, just hold on 2 months and give me the space I need to turn this around. She said she'd think about it.
