You can be strong to protect yourself and your family without being evil, I think that is exactly what you are doing. You havent been dishonest about anything.
Yeah my Bible verse for today was this:
Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. ~Matthew 7:12
You know... I haven't even exploded on W at all for her A. In fact... I just approached her offering forgiveness, asking to make our M stronger, and basically offering a semi-clean slate in terms of being willing to work past it.
I pretty much went textbook on everything, but unfortunately because of her mental issues, legal issues, etc. I haven't been in a position to do much.
There is a part of me though that just wants to let it out and to tell her exactly what I think of her and what she is doing - but ultimately that won't solve anything outside of making me feel better... and I suppose my burden is not saying anything... because I won't have to regret anything down the road.
She's just going to feel pretty stupid if/when she loses everything. I'm sure she isn't "happy" right now, because reality is coming in steady hard-hitting doses from my attorneys. Real life will intrude more when she loses health insurance, possibly custody, and when her surrogate father the judge isn't the nurturing bastion of tranquility and punishment towards me that she is expecting.
What a disappointing outcome for a promising relationship... at least how I remember it. We tend to remember the positive out of painful experiences... else women wouldn't sign up for childbirth more than once.
So... thank you for the words of support guys and gals... I imagine things will be looking up one way or another as time passes.
"You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into."
