The Truth Hurts

[CountingCrows]

Spoke with W's Father and Stepfather today. They both were very supportive of me as a husband and father and think that I need to detach and divorce her...that's she's poison to me and S7 (as well as to herself). Her dad said I could take the entire story and substitute W's mom's name 30 years ago. Almost exactly the same behavior as her mom before their D. Like mother, like daughter.

Also spoke to D lawyer today. He's ready to file as early as next Monday. Wants to play hardball. Haven't heard from or talked to W since this morning. Still want to talk to her first and see how hard she's going to fight me for shared custody of S7. I will accept nothing less than full custody with visitation for W. I went ahead and made the appt, so I guess depending out how talk with W goes will determine if it will be hardball or softball.

I still just want to hear the truth (preferably with an outpouring of remorse) from her mouth. Not that I expect it. I want to give her one final chance to break it off from OM, get help and give the M a honest attempt, but don't think it will happen.

This still isn't what my heart wants, even if my brain is telling me that it's the right thing to do.
