Tonight I get back from shopping with my D11, and I go into my room and use the computer... about 3 hrs later dinner is ready so I come out and see W, S, D11 and 2 of my sons friends 16.
we sit down to eat and after idle chat my one S friend, a very nice polite kid, out of nowwhere he begins talking about divorce in his family and how he is affected and what has happened to him. We listen a bit and I tell him, I understand, we are going thru that now as well (his friends all know about the D). I tell him he is not alone and that it's not that unusual these days. W looks at me and stares.. His friend goes on and tells more about how his dad was abusive to his mom, and the drinking and physical fights.. I tell him I'm sorry to hear about that, and that we didnt get physical, just other people are influencing ours...
With that, W gets up storms out of the house and calls 911. I hear her tell that I am arguing and verbally fighting with her ,, I am dragging the kids into our divorce arguments and that I am "using the kids".. So the cops are called and are mandated to come again..
I immediately go back in the house and join the kids at the table and continue and wait for the police to show. They arrive and speak with W outside and then knock and ask me to come out and talk..I go and relate that we were calmly having a discussion and the W didn't like to hear what we were discussing so she called the police. I explain that I believe her lawyer is prompting her to call at every thing to make a case against me. They ask me what happened and I tell them..
They ask why they were here also last night. I explain that I found my wife was having an affair, I caught and outed her, she didnt like that, got mad and called the police.. He asks how I know and I tell him she admitted to me she was having an affair and the police man then tells me the W denies ever saying that!!!!
So, I pull out me recording device and ask them if the would like to listen and they say ok...I play parts for them and they say ok thats enough...
The in charge police comes out and tells me he talked with the kids and confirmed that there was no yelling, arguing, physical fighting,, just a conversation.. he even says this is not a domestic dispute, it is an argument..BUT because the police were specifically called to the home, W or I have to leave for the night..
I tell them, that W is the one overreacting calling 911 because she didnt like what she was hearing and was the one having the problem so she can leave and I'll stay with the kids..
W says she'll leave and take the girls with her, I stay with the boys..
So we each give written statements, and W and police leave...
I call my son downstairs and talk with him reassuring him Im sorry but i cannot control what his mom does. I tell him I love him and that mom and dad are both under pressures of D and this sometimes happens.. I ask if there is anything I can do to make it easier for him at home and he only asks that even if his friends talk about D, That he feels uncomfortable when I talk about it,,, I tell him i understand and I will avoid doing that..
We talk some more and then he returns to his friends...
W is obviously VERY P!ssed I found out about her affair....
WTF!
