Today W called to tell me that she feels uncomfortable leaving the girls with me because she doesn't trust me not to drink. She threatened to get a lawyer, find out her rights, kick me out, etc..
She called later and back pedalled on her stand. Apparently she talked to D17 to 'let her know' that if dad was ever drinking she could call her for 'help'.
D17 told her that since she didn't live here any more it wasn't any of her business what happens in this house.
So, W said to me that whatever MIGHT happen is part of the lessons the girls and I are learning together. And, she says, they seem to be 'protecting me' from her.
Now, all she is going to do is talk to them and let them know that if they don't want to live with me they can always come and be with her.
She also said that 'we' need to keep the house so they have stability.
I told her she could call me randomly in the evenings if it would make her feel better but she said that she shouldn't have to feel like she has to 'check up' on me. That it's her fears and issues about drinking that she has to deal with herself.
Then she went on to talk about D13's birthday party in 2 weeks, and asked if it was 'ok with me' if she comes over for a couple hours.
Now she's here getting more of her clothes and other stuff.
She left her 'Divorce' book, but she did take her 'toybox'.
