Out of the Blocks! Into the Race!

Last thread locked. It used to take me a week to do that before, so this is progress.

STBX is as about as crazy as I've ever seen her. D16 now wants to live with me. STBX continues to lord SMARMYLAWYERBOSS' Jeep over her, and takes driving away at the drop of the hat. D16 spent last weekend with me, and said her binging and purging were so much easy to control because the atmosphere with me is more relaxed.

STBX sent an email to me asking for 53% of the money for S10's lacrosse fees. That was one of the mediators points. I said fine, and then went on to tell her that I was reducing her support to the figures that the mediator recommended, a full $1400 less than what I have been giving her. I'm tired or her bullying and beat downs of EVERYONE!


I think she also is furious that I have been seeing "Gym Woman", in some bizarre sort of way. My kids love her. It almost seems like she wants to keep the drama alive instead of just getting this divorce over with. Funny, when she was seeing her married boss when I was in Iraq, none of this mattered. Hmmm?

I am SURE she wants to keep the drama going! Don't bite at it, though.

Any luck looking for a bigger place? Sounds like you're going to have all of them with you, the rate this is going... there could be worse things...

Maybe look at a partial house rental in your hometown, or better yet, look for a house!

Its all uphill from here, in a good way, F!!

Oh, and a HUGE cup of tea for me this morning - I wanted to stay in bed after getting the 90 min delay...

No delay for us. The only ones out there! Why does she need to keep this drama alive? It's pathological.

Why did the mediator pick 53% for your share? Why not just 50???

Has D16 told her mother that she would rather live with you? If so, I am sure there were fireworks!!! Wouldn't it be funny if she had to pay YOU child support?!?!

Glad to "hear"(from the tone of your postings) you are in such better spirits than when you first returned from Iraq. (((FLTC)))

OOPS! Didn't seem like my post was being processed....and there it is FOUR times and I can't delete them.

We'll forgive ya, Mattie

I'm hoping that they came to 53% based on their different incomes....

and keeping the drama, well, there are people who just survive on this stuff. I'm sure you came face-to-face with the adrenaline junkies, those who were pissed when they didn't have something to shoot at. All that training, and they get bored. They need the constant stimulus to keep them distracted from the REAL mess that is going on inside of themselves. Then, they never have to face it!

YOU have to be the problem, right? Or anyone / anything else. Keep cool, and she'll be left alone with no one to look at but herself.
