She must be seeing a lawyer...what now?

[Awoken]

I'm taking W to the airport tomorrow morning at 6am. It's been a difficult few days, and W is now displaying more anger towards me than I think I've ever seen. Here are the long, boring details of the last few days:

Since our discussion on 12/22 I've kept contact to a minimum. We communicated briefly about presents for the kids, making sure we both shared credit, and figuring out who would buy what. It was done mostly via text.

She left early Thursday morning to pick up last present for S13, and then texted me around 10am that she had got it. By 2pm she still hadn't come home, so I took the kids out shopping for their cousins and some lunch.

That evening I started wrapping the remaining presents for the kids, and W objected to me leaving her out of the wrapping. It's not something we have ever really done together in the past, so I was a little surprised. I simply agreed and we wrapped the remaining presents together.

I then noticed W checking her text message on a new cell phone (no wonder she wasn't responding to me or kids texts during the day) We had talked briefly about her wanting to get a private cellphone. It turns out she had already done so, and just wanted out of paying her share of the current family plan. She knew I was going to see the charge on the upcoming credit card bill. I know that when D17 sees the new phone it will upset her.

We then tried to watch a movie together as a family, but W drank her self to sleep again half way through it.

This morning, I got up around 8am and for a first, the kids were still in bed. I started preparing a little breakfast for after opening the presents, then went upstairs to get everyone. Then W came down, and vented her fury at me. She is evidently mad that I made breakfast, had tried to wrap presents without her, and was otherwise interfering with her and the kids. She said lots of other stuff, but it was incoherent to me. We opened presents, and she was visibly upset and very tense the entire time, avoiding any eye contact with me.

Around 2pm I took the kids to my family for christmas dinner. W had been invited, by didn't want to come. She said she would stay home and pack for her trip. We returned by 6pm, so the kids could spend some time with her. She had locked herself in her room, and had not packed anything. Both D17 and S13 were mystified! Finally, around 9 she came downstairs and joined us infront of the TV, but refused to sit in any of the chairs, laying down on the floor. Both kids looked at me with a WTF look on their faces. After an hour of her angry pouting, she retreated upstairs to pack.

I'm assuming I'm still driving her in the morning.
