I think W has left - no communication. Not because I didn't want to, but because I had no idea when she was going. The person who is trying to paint herself as the primary caregiver is gonzo for 8 days... now I get to go get groceries so we can eat!!!
D11 called me from school to take her for lunch. D16 called me at lunch to see if I could meet her because she was almost out of gas in her car. S13 texted me asking about getting him a new hockey helmet. And she has only been gone a few hours.
No session with the kids and a C as her L had requested. I went back to my L indicating I am fully in favour of C for the kids, but not at all in favour of that being hers or mine. Also said I was not informed of and therefore did not consent to the initial session they had. Apparently the C could be in some doo doo because of that. I also reminded him of the letter I gave W on Sept 15 where I expressed a huge concern as to how the k's were being affected.
I think my L has seen so much of this cr@p - his lack of panic is a great comfort to me.
Now time to figure out if it is time to play a little more hard ball. More of the "love must be tough" principles.
IF om is at the hockey game I think he will be at tonight, in the same city that W is in, it may be time to reconnect with OMW as well... That will also confirm the phone convo I heard on Sat night.
For now, I will go enjoy my time alone with my K's!

Subtle hard ball - such as suspending my pay from the joint account. Need to become more aggressive here.
Interesting side note - found a note that W made, obv talking to her L. She perceives that I am trying to "buy off" K's and am using the threat of exposing the A to the k's as a "power move"...

I've been trying to get h4h to go to that movie, Fireproof. Any way I could get you to go...,might get you in a right frame of mind...calm you a bit......In the movie, the W file for divorce as well.
My L gets a copy of my "log" which has all of that stuff.
I would not object to going and seeing the move - but I don't think it is out up here. Will look. Something to calm me would be good.
"Only" been 9 months since the ILYB bomb but I am seeing the pendulum slowly shift to the "who gives a F" side and I do not want that to happen just yet.

Good! It's so hard to not get that attitude, seeing what she is saying and doing, and knowing that she is saying and doing more that you don't even know about. It takes a very strong man....a very devoted man to love in these circumstances. I admire you. If your wife comes out of the fog, she will, too. She will hold you, hug you, cry, and say, "Thank you for not giving up on me."
