W is great at appearing normal/helpless in a sprint.
My strength lies in knowledge of both myself and W's false-self, my knowledge and experience in the legal process, my documentation and CYA philosophy of W's behavior, and my solid support system.
When I have D1 now W makes ominous claims that I'm not taking care of her. I'm taking care of her just fine, but I do know that W didn't have a problem with me keeping her while she was running around with OM. The only reason she has a problem now is to punish me for finding out.
Once I began understanding what I was dealing with, I strictly limited our contact and virtually shut down communication. Ultimately I think that by engaging with her I'm giving her more of a reason to try and trash me. The distortion campaign is alive and well, but I think she is not going to find as much support as she thought she would have.
W is acting like a fogged wayward from some of the things I've seen... but this is to the extreme, i.e. "DCBHM molested the baby!" instead of normal justifications for her behavior.
I didn't want the war, but ultimately I think W will be more bark than bite if I play things right. Still an unpleasant situation.
