Standing on the Edge

[native]

Tonight the evil WAS came out again. Like a corpse on Halloween. After several weeks of really nice, really cooperative behavior, saying she missed me, etc. she turns into the evil one incarnate again.

Don't know what triggered it, but she seemed to be upset because I had called her father the other night when she did not respond to my text from the circus I took our daughter to. I thought it odd because she has not been in the habit of not answering lately.

I called when we left the circus, about 9:30, she did not answer. It was late so I asked her cousin to drive by her house to see if she was home. I knew she had a class that night till 8:30, it was the middle of the week so it seemed unlikely she would have gone out.

The only reason I was concerned was because she is my child's mother. If we did not have a child together I would not be calling her at all, nor worried about if she were ok or not.

I didnt think she was seeing anyone, I was just concerned she might have suffered harm on the way to her car. Turns out she went to a bar with a girlfriend to unwind, since she had missed the circus (which she had wanted to go to....at least she had said so).

We talked about it that night and all was resolved, or so I thought.

Tonight she went out to eat at Red Lobster with her Grandfather. He paid. She did not invite me, though she was happy to go to dinner with me the night before. She called me, upset because she lost her key to get in her house. On my only night off I had gone to get a beer. So I came in 10 minutes with my copy of her key which I had used to leave a single rose for both her and my daughter, a little chocolate and some cards. Nothing mushy, just humorous. I also put $50 in her card since she is over $300 in the negative on her bank account due to poor bugeting.

So I get there with the key and she tries it but can't get the door open. She says its the wrong key. I said I used it to get in earlier. She claims I have her other key ( the one I used to make this one) and tries to take a work key off my key ring. I tell her she is wrong, I don't have her old key, only my copy, which she tries again and it works. I leave it with her.

Then she is pissy about the valentines stuff I left for her and daughter. She says the famous 'we have to talk' about the other night when I was concerned for her well being.

I said ' No we don't!' and walk out of the house.

About 15 min. later I text " My only night off. Don't need drama. No harm intended."

Her response: ' Emma loved the Valentine's gifts. And I understand not wanting drama on a night off.'

My response: ' Thx. I really appreciate it."

Hers: ' Yeah...'

Mine: " I really hope that's not sarcasm"

But of course it is.

But why ? I am so sick of this evil twin coming out and ruining things.
