Good morning all. As many of you know, I have posted about the beautiful lake that you can see from the 6th floor window of the court house.Ironically, it is now frozen.
As I walk up to the courthouse, I feel humiliated. This is not what I am about. It is not who I am. It seems like such a waste...of time...of money....of our lives.
My W paints me as a liar...an absentee husband..."vile and and disgusting"..someone that should spare her the "warm fuzzy greetings."
Yes Jack3B...I remember us on that weekend to San Diego, professing my love to her only weeks after learning of backseat OM.I DID try to save this. My history is open and clear here.There is no doubt that, as you say above, I need to further open my eyes.
Although slightly anxious, I am steelier now. It hurts less. I am getting into a great fathering 'groove' with my kids. As Tolle taught me in The New Earth, I am 'in the moment' when the kids talk to me. I did arts and crafts with D5 over the weekend. I made her an ice cream stick giraffe and a fuzzball caterpillar. We started playing Crazy Eights by the fireplace. A sign of my growth:
We were playing cards last night, the three of us, on D5's bead. STBXW comes in at exactly 9PM:
W: (demanding cold voice) Let's go, time for bed.
Me: We're almost done.Let's finish this hand kids then bedtime.
My STBXW STOOD OVER US...glaring while we only had minutes left to play. S8 won, broke into joy, and both kids jumped on me, laughing.
This isn't an instance of "undermining her as a parent". This is HER, now, crossing a boundary..time with my kids. No...she won't take those moments away from me.
Strength and honor. FIB

Fast and nothing done. My L accused her L of blackmail and in front of the judge requested an apology. She also went on to say that there is a new law out which means STBXW may NOT get 50% of the value of my practice.
On the way out the door, the other L wrote "I'm sorry" three times on a piece of paper and gave it to her. LOL.
The barracuda.

So did the judge do anything other than just hear 2 L's bitching about each other? Why cant someone make a decision about the living arrangements and a parenting plan? Then deal with the financials.
the L's in court asking for an apology, nothing done...whatevs....(that's my new d19 phrase I like, and so is "DGAF" which means don't give a f---, fyi)
Anyhooos,,,, court...gross. Oh well, DGAF I guess (( j ))

My STBXW threatened me tonite. W: It is a federal offense to steal a passport and you can be arrested. I want my passport by tomorrow.
Me: It's probably where my digital media card is.
She didn't like that response.
