Took me a while to catch on that you changed your screen name.
Just want to say I agree with your sister about laying low at least until after the holidays. And also nutfarmer's comment about considering how what you write could be misconstrued and used against you.
It really hasn't been terribly long since your W moved out. That was a huge emotional event, and a bigger life upheaval for her because she now lives in a different place. It takes time for things to settle down. This may sound odd, but maybe she is calming down just a tintsy winsty bit. She takes the baby from your arms. She is cold, but not abusive, not accusing you of abuse.
I understand your worry about her spending time with her Dad. It will be interesting to see what happens. My hope, is that this time, she will have to deal with her feelings about him head on because you won't be around for her to transfer her feelings about his abuse on to you, as if you were the one who had done this to her.
Did you get legal advice about what to do to prepare for the possibility of divorce? Are there some steps you can take now regarding financial and child issues that could help protect you in case you have to go that route?
