Yes, XW doesn't care about the toll her decisions have on my time w/D. In fact, she expects me to soon fade from the picture. Not going to happen, but that is what she's hoping for.
As for the house, the picture is so very bleak. Arizona is 2nd in the nation in foreclosures, so the glut of bank-owned houses is killing my price by the minute. The house has been on the market since August, but she's been dragging her feet on everything, so it took longer to list and that may have been the window we needed to sell. Who knows? I'm expected to pay the mortgage as long as I'm living there and we have a 50/50 share in the place.
However, I'm to the point where we either need to look at selling short, or I'll just leave it all up to her to deal w/and move out. I'm done w/the place. Completely fed up.
As for XW's drinking, yes, I now believe she loved it more than our family and b/c BF is her new drinking buddy, she's happy to be w/him. I also think it will help to blow things up w/XW and BF and I fear for how that will impact D. I'll be there for her and continue to do as much damage control for her as I can along the way.
I'll always work to be a safe place for her. She's such a darling little lady and as her Daddy, it is my duty to keep her safe.
