Newbie (again)

I'm really starting to get the notion I may just have to start another thread in the WAW section again for some insight on things lately.

XW (and boys for the matter re0reading this) is acting as if she's screaming something out with no voice and I just don't get it.

First off the name change (as a "courtesy to me"), the open apology and remorse for all this happening, the random day here and there spending her breaks at work texting me. Now, finally giving me my vitals documents I've been asking for since last September. Also yesterday when were at the school one of the teachers was loading up a bean bag box game in her car, and I had the ones I made on the list of things I still wanted back from the house but gave up on, and she said she had them now for me to pick up.

Then last night the boys call, S12 is upset that I didn't register him by my house for school and was very mouthy with XW while I spoke with S11. S11 is upset because he was bored as it was raining outside and he has nothing to do. Wanted me to go to "our house" and remove all of his belongings, BUT, bring them by my house? S11 also said XW retrieved my lawn chair (my portable fireworks throne) from her car and has it for me.

Then XW got on the phone. I had realized on the way home from work that I had not thanked XW for keeping the boys in their school, that really means a lot. So, I took advantage of the opportunity and did so, just said "I meant to say this morning thank you very much for keeping them here, it really means a lot to me, the thought of them being so far away was very nerving and would have been hard on me, I appreciate it very much". Thre was a moment of silence that seemed to last a eternity, and XW somberly replied, 'yea, well', something to that extent as she was so quiet.

I just don't know. For now, I guess all that can be done is to just let it ride and not poke, prod or pick at it. If and when she's ready to say what is on her mind, she will. My cousin is fairly certain XW wants out of the mess she made but is trapped with OM financially and by way of the agreements.

I want to say it's karma doing it's thing. She's miserable, I'm miseable, and the kids are clearly rebelling on her. Only time will tell. Then the first real question will be how she intends to undo the mess that was made and correct all the lies and stories she fabricated. Maybe I'm just being humbily optomisitc?
