I'm just feeling a bit melancholy today. For the last couple of days.
Two years ago today, June 15, marks the day I discovered the horrible truth about my then wife, that I was being betrayed and that she was not the faithful, honest person she had always purported herself to be. I found out my wife did not love me and even hated me, even wishing me harm.
...
The orientation last Thursday was uneventful. We saw a video about mediation along with many other former couples. We scheduled our mediation session for June 25. And we had a nice lecture about how mediation was our last chance before we get into the hair-ball of litigation, in which neither party gets what they really want and everybody loses, especially the kids.
Do I think it had any impact on swaying xW from her insane course of action that she is dragging us along? No, not likely.
As if to underscore that feeling, I later got the following mind-blowingly insane email from her, just hours after we left the courthouse apparently:
Quote:
NCB,
We had an agreement in (former hired mediator's) office a year ago. I gave you more than a judge will. Your refusal to sign any separation agreement has cost your children $16,000. Why are you doing this? Why are you hurting them like this?
xW
I just forwarded this insane drivel to my L, but I did not reply to it. What can one argue with a crazy person after all, huh?
...
I have now begun an email campaign, writing to select members of family, friends, neighbors and mutual acquaintances -- to clear the air of all the misconceptions that xW has cultivated about our marriage, our separation, our divorce and now our custody battle. I have decided that, after trying to help protect her reputation for these last two years, I won't be silent any longer.
If she is going to try to harm me and our kids to merely justify her own shallow ends, then I have to set the record straight. For S8 and S4's sake.
