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

Thanks R2C; that helps.

I first read Divorce Poison when D17 told me that W was saying bad things about me. That seems like a long time ago. Surprisingly, it's best use to me has been understanding how to improve my own conversations with my kids. I've never spoken badly about W to them, and as her behavior has gotten worse both D17 and S13 want to engage me about W. I like to think reading that book has helped me handle those conversations, like when S13 asked me "is mom bi-polar?"

I can see how as we work through the divorce, things could escalate. I'll reread the book.
