Had a good time with D1 today. Did the mall, chik fil a, home, playing tea party, and then having her fuss and complain because she was tired and didn't want to go to sleep and didn't want to stay awake and you know the drill...
During the pickup W/MIL showed off a new sleep blanket they had bought, but as before when I hit them hard at the first hearing I get the "elephant in the room" treatment where they pretend like nothing is happening. Same thing when they came to get her... standing around with one of those uncomfortable silences as if they are waiting for me to say something. Quite frankly I'm done making offers considering every single one has been rebuffed.
I'm guessing it just does not compute considering she thought this was going to be a "Blame H for everything" case and now the Plaintiff is on the run from the Defendant.
Her attorney's entire game plan was DELAY DELAY DELAY hoping I would run out of money or would "calm down" but now the Judge has gotten a pretty good idea seeing the pattern of filings and my affidavit being unchallenged.
So now... holding all the cards... how do I feel about my M?
My W was willing to shut me out of D1's life if she could. She was willing to accusing me of molesting her. She was willing to accuse me of abuse. She was willing to basically create legal hell for me - she just lacked the mental capacity to target the right places and luckily I'm a legal ninja having had enough experience. She has virtually ignored my boys... even though one of them made her a mother's day present, she barely acknowledged it. Finally - she has made no move back towards the M - and likely won't until reality hits her like a sledgehammer if she loses everything to me.
That doesn't make me happy... I didn't want my relationship to end like this. The curse of me being so good at "winning" in court is that I hate doing what I have to do. It does not please me to do things which hurt people I cared about. Then again they haven't shown much hesitation in going after me - so there you go.
