Walk Away German Wife (WAGW)

[PortlandDad]

She had an ultrasound on her leg today. According to her (apply the appropriate reality filter) it is a non-malignant tumor, a torn ligament, and a hematoma the size of a grape. She says the doc wants to excise it for fear of getting a blood clot.

Whatever. All I know is this will pretty much kill any chance she had of staying in her school (nursing school is pretty much all leg-work, which has contributed mightily to her condition). It will also devastate her financially, as she has no insurance.

If she was sweating those things, though, she sure wasn't showing it today. She was as defiant as I've ever seen her. She sent me a couple of e-mails and was her typical, obstinant self. Saying that she didn't agree to giving me full custody of the kids (?? Like how would she have any claim to custody being 2000 miles away?), I shouldn't be bad-mouthing her to my friends (?? I never say anything to anyone about her, outside of this forum), and she would give her life for her kids (?? but she just doesn't want to live WITH them, apparently).

Oh well. She can be as defiant as she wants on the deck of the SS Titanic. I did extend my hand in compassion to her... I'll see what she does with it.
