Thanks so much, Tal, Gypsy. You are so sweet and wonderful.
Tal, W is still very good to my S's. She does try to be a good mother to them, and for that I am so very grateful. She could very easily be even more like her own mother, abandoning her children altogether to pursue her own selfish ends.
It is a dual edged sword in her current condition however -- W is still a protective, loving mother, but that doesn't stop her, in her hedonistic selfishness, to rationalize all kinds of sins against their father, even to seek his ultimate removal. She will bear false witness against me for her own ends and try to justify it as "protecting" her S's, not seeing the truer harm she does to them in the process.
And as long as she sees me as her chief obstacle in her reckless pursuit of her "happiness", she will continue to do much harm in that regard. I have to somehow maintain a balance between the harm she does to their father (me) versus the harm our S's would suffer were she not trying to still be their mother.
I plan to go to the house today to shoot some last photos of the magnum opuses I painted there. I will post some of them in the alternate universe when I get a chance. I will also need to hunt for a new apartment since I can no longer afford the current one.
