I think I do my best when I just stay away from her. If I look at her as a stranger would, I would probably put her in the bad person box and just walk away. Is that wrong, probably, but it helps to ease the pain for me. One of my best friends pointed out something my W did to him seventeen or eighteen years ago and I was just appalled. I really think that maybe it is better for me if we D, certainly not for the kids. I am ready to be free of the drama and just deal with her on a very limited basis. She was making me unhappy and I really just want to get our settlement adjusted to the way she agreed and be back on my own. I am thinking about how in a couple of years I will have our credit card debt paid off and I can think about building my own house. I have had that dream forever, and I don't think it is out of reach. As long as I have a job then I should be good. What I do is sort a specialized thing and not many people have the weird skill set I have so I think I should always be able to work. Thanks for the advice k and Arthur for seeing it both ways. My W is pretty much a good person, she just makes bad choices. She resents me for always being right, so she can her mistakes and find out that maybe being right isn't so bad.
