Well this morning was ugly. She woke me up and told me that she sent the lawyer an email concerning the legal separation to make sure it worked the way I said it did. She said that it wasn't that she didn't believe me, but that I wasn't a lawyer. I told her I understood. But being disoriented from being woken up, the next part was bad...

She said that she wanted to know what I thought of the terms she had told me. I told her that I thought splitting he debt down the middle and yet I still had to pay for my car on my own was ridiculous. Her car is paid off so she has no bills. I would think that the car should be considered part of the debt.

She went nuts telling me that wasn't going to happen.

Last night she told me that she had a lot of work to do for her class and asked that if I could take the kids. I told her that I could. This morning I was getting ready to go and she was all mad because my daughter wanted to go to my mothers house instead of her parents house. Apparently her parents had something for them and she had told them that the kids would be by today. In the meantime I had told the kids that we could do some project they've been asking to do over at my parents house. So when I came downstairs my wife says to me "Nice one on telling them they could do that project over at your parents house so they wouldn't want to go to my parents house." I was like "What are you talking about? I had no idea they were supposed to go to your parents' house." She got all worked up and said "I think I'm on to your game." I told her that I didn't have any game. She told me that she was leaving to pick some things up and left. So I took the kids over to my parents for a bit and then dropped them by her parents. When I got back home my wife seemed fine as if nothing happened. I have no idea what to make of any of it. It was way out of left field. I was only doing what she asked me to do so that she could complete her stuff. I had no way of knowing what plans she makes in meantime if she doesn't tell me.

I'm just letting it go for now. I guess the one positive is she is at least considering the separation. However, this whole thinking that I would use the kids for leverage thing is out of line and unwarranted. There is nothing in out past that would lead her to believe that I would do that. In fact, I have done everything in my power to keep them free of this. While I personally believe that D is bad for kids, I do not even use that in my logic with her.

I think I woke up on the wrong side of the bizzaroworld line.
