Thanks LolaL.

That's good advice. That's my biggest problem, I always have to argue the point (heck - my Ph.D. is in Rhetoric, the study of arguing well).

That's one reason I'm going to go dark in talking to her. I'm still sending letters to the kids (all the kids) and videos, and she'll see those. Hopefully, she'll notice that I'm paying more attention to the kids, reforming myself, and paying down the debt. But I'm not sure how any communication directly with her will work, because at this point she's reading everything I say in an angry tone.

I have told her that I understand (and I think I do somewhat - I've had long talks with my mother, who has almost left my father many times, but decided not to - she's explained what my wife is likely thinking), but she's said she doesn't believe me and thinks I'm a liar.

I do believe I have to go to last resort, because we're seperated and she has declared her intention to file for divorce.

My mother says the best thing I can do is make my wife wonder about me, and give her time to start missing me. As long as I communicate with her, she just gets angry, even at a purely business e-mail.
